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

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 . NYC DOT, with input from Con Edison, selected curbside locations based on projected demand for charging, geographic diversity, and input from local elected officials and community stakeholders. NYC DOT also collected input from the public on where chargers should be installed. 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. The cost of charging is competitive with the cost of gasoline for non-EVs. Customers can pay for their charging session by smartphone , or by tapping their credit card. These parking spaces are reserved for actively charging EVs. Vehicles parked in these spaces but not actively charging may be ticketed by NYPD.
