Andrew Cuomo said. \u201cBy expanding public access to electric vehicle charging stations, this program will make it more affordable for New Yorkers to make the switch to an environmentally friendly electric vehicle, resulting in a cleaner, greener New York for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Administered by the state Energy Research and Development Authority, the new Charge Ready NY initiative provides a $4,000 rebate per charging port for public or private employers, building owners, municipalities and non-profit organizations to install Level 2 charging stations.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Depending on installation costs and the model\/make of the charging station, installers can save up to 80 percent of a typical installation\u2019s total cost. Level 2 stations provide up to 25 miles of electric range to cars for each hour they are charging. Charging stations must be installed at one of the following types of locations:<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 <\/b>Public parking lot: must have at least ten parking spaces and be open to the general public at least 12 hours per day for at least five days per week. Examples include municipal or privately-operated parking lots or garages, parking at retail locations, shopping malls, restaurants, parks, transit stations, schools and other destination locations.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 <\/b>Workplace: must have at least ten parking spaces that primarily serve a minimum of 15 employees who work at or near the lot. Examples include office buildings, universities, schools, and hospitals.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 <\/b>Multi-unit housing: must have at least eight parking spaces that primarily serve a building with five or more housing units, such as apartment buildings, condominiums and co-ops.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman of Energy and Finance for New York Richard Kauffman said the state \u201cis building a comprehensive electric vehicle and charging infrastructure across the state to support the electrification of the transportation sector\u2014the biggest emitter of carbon than any other industry. New York is rapidly becoming a leader in clean transportation technologies and deployment across the state and today, we\u2019re making another move to get us closer to our meeting our emissions reductions goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charge Ready NY rebates can be combined with the state\u2019s 50 percent tax credit for installing charging stations. The tax credit is applied after the rebate amount received from NYSERDA. Charge Ready NY rebates cannot be combined with other New York State charging station rebate programs offered by NYSERDA, the Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York Power Authority, or other state entities.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Officials said the transportation sector is one of the largest producers of energy related greenhouse gas emissions in New York State. As a result, the state has multiple initiatives and programs designed to reduce these emissions and support the expansion of electric vehicles. For example, the Drive Clean Rebate initiative provides New York residents with rebates of up to $2,000 for the purchase of a new or leased electric car. Since its launch, more than 9,000 New York residents have received rebates totaling more than $12 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York state has $5 million available as part of the first rebate designed specifically for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at workplaces, office buildings, multi-family apartment buildings, and public locations such as theaters, malls, parks and retail locations.\u00a0 The installation of charging stations for public use supports the state\u2019s clean energy goal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
