EVolve NY

Our Goal

We’re working to make New York even better for electric vehicles by building a network of fast, affordable, and reliable public charging stations. We’re adding chargers in key places along major highways and at the airports, investing up to $250 million through 2025 to improve the infrastructure and raise awareness of the benefits of driving electric.

As a participant in New York’s Make-Ready Program Order, EVolve NY provides timely public notice of each site that we identify for commercial development that will require Make-Ready Program funds. Accordingly, other charging station owners can inquire about the details of the potential site locations identified by NYPA (as indicated by the grey icons in the above Google Map on this web page) for commercial development. EVolve NY has created a dedicated email address to field such questions, available at: MakeReadyInquiry@nypa.gov.
