New York awarded $3 million to companies to connect electric vehicles to the grid, including a project converting lampposts into charging stations by Voltpost.
The state ranks second for the number of public charging stations, with close to 18,000 stations, following California.
NYSERDA granted funds for innovative curbside charging designs in NYC to address the city's unique challenges in EV infrastructure.
While facing concerns like gas cars occupying EV spots, these developments in NY could serve as a blueprint for other U.S. cities to integrate EVs into the urban landscape.
