More than $8.3 million will be shared by 70 municipalities to install electric vehicle charging stations, a project expected to help the state achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
This is the largest award since the program began in 2016 and more than 42 percent of the grant funding was awarded for projects located in disadvantaged communities.
“DEC is proud to work with the communities and local leaders across the state investing in clean energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and building sustainable infrastructure,” said Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos. “This funding will continue to grow New York’s electric vehicle charging network in communities as we shift to zero-emissions vehicles to reduce emissions and improve the health and safety of New Yorkers.”
ZEV infrastructure grants are available to cities, towns, villages, and counties across New York under the DEC Municipal ZEV Program. The program also offers rebates for zero-emission fleet vehicles.
The 2022 rebate awards for municipal zero-emission fleet vehicles were announced in December. Since its inception in 2016, the Municipal ZEV Program awarded more than $16 million in rebates and grants (including this round) towards the purchase of 114 plug-in hybrid vehicles and 182 all-electric vehicles, 1,076 Level 2 charging ports, 44 fast charge pedestals, and three hydrogen fuel cell filling nozzles.
