The State of EVs in New York

August 19, 2021

How does New York stack up when it comes to electric vehicles? Click here to read our fact-sheet on the State of EVs in New York, part of our Plug It In, NY campaign.

We cover where New York stands compared to the nation when it comes to EVs, the various electrification incentives and charging programs, and statistics on vehicle registration and public chargers. 

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy’s 2021 State Transportation Electrification Scorecard ranks New York 2nd nationwide on the electrification of our transportation systems.

There are more than 76,000 EVs on the road, including hybrid and plug-in electric cars. More than 21,000 of them are just in Suffolk and Nassau!

There are thousands of public charging stations and outlets in the state. To propose a charging station location, click here!

If you’re on the market for an EV, you may qualify for a number of incentives that could make it easier to purchase one, including the Alternative Fueling Infrastructure Tax Credit, Drive Clean Rebate, Smart Charge Rewards, or SmartCharge New York.
