Six new EVolve NY electric vehicle fast chargers are now available to the public in Southold, New York, according to a recent announcement by New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
A part of the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) mission to expand public EV infrastructure across the state, the milestone marks the first high-powered EV charging hub on the North Fork of Long Island.
According to American Public Power Association, it is the largest public EVolve NY charging station on Long Island to date.
Other nearby charging sites include a two-plug station in the village of Greenport and another located at a car dealership, though neither offers the same level of charging speed or accessibility as the Southold installation. EVolve NY charging stations provide 150 kW or more of charging power.
EVolve NY is NYPA’s statewide EV fast-charging network, supporting New York’s clean transportation goals. Currently, it includes 266 chargers at 63 locations throughout the state.
New York Power Authority President and CEO Justin E. Driscoll said, “Long Island has more electric vehicle drivers than any other area of the state. As demand for reliable EV charging grows and summer travel draws visitors to the North Fork, the Power Authority is proud to deliver the infrastructure necessary to make EV driving more convenient and more reliable for Long Islanders, visitors and all New Yorkers.”
