Bronx County, NY Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

There are three different charging levels for EVs: Level 1 Charge: Up to 5 miles of range per hour of charging, Standard household outlet, Low voltage (120v). Level 2 Charge: Up to 20 miles of range per hour of charging, Mid-level voltage (240v), commonly used in large appliances like dryers. Level 3 Charge: Over 30 miles of range per 10 minutes of charging, Also known as DC Fast Charging, the fastest charging option (over 480v). New York City is developing PlugNYC, a comprehensive network of publicly accessible Level 2 and DC fast chargers. Level 2 charging stations allow EV owners to charge their vehicles while parked at home, at work, or on the street. DC fast chargers offer a charging experience comparable to a gas station. [...] In partnership with Con Edison, NYC installed 98 Level 2 charging ports for the public to use at curbside locations across the five boroughs. Installation of the Level 2 chargers began in June 2021. After an initial four-year demonstration project including an evaluation period, NYC DOT has continued to operate these chargers. Use of the chargers is managed by FLO. [...] The curbside Level 2 chargers are equipped with a standard SAE J1772 connector that is compatible with most EVs. Tesla owners will be able to use these Level 2 chargers with an adapter that comes with every Tesla vehicle. EV owners pay for curbside charging on a per hour basis. [...] These parking spaces are reserved for actively charging EVs. Vehicles parked in these spaces but not actively charging may be ticketed by NYPD.
