Westchester County has installed 25 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the County Center’s South Parking Lot, providing free charging for up to 50 electric vehicles at a time. The initiative, funded through a $115,000 Clean Energy Communities Grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), is part of the County’s broader commitment to sustainability, clean energy adoption, minimizing air pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The charging stations are available at no cost to event attendees, mass transit commuters, Bicycle Sunday participants and visitors to the Bronx River Parkway Reservation walk and bike trail. This initiative aligns with the County’s Climate Action Plan, which prioritizes reducing emissions and expanding access to clean energy infrastructure. The Hudson Valley Regional Council, a multi-county organization dedicated to regional planning and sustainability, partnered with the County to help implement the program.
With this investment, Westchester County is taking a major step toward reducing transportation-related emissions while providing convenient, cost-free charging options for those who live, work and visit the region. The County will continue to seek opportunities to expand its EV charging network and promote clean energy adoption.
The County Center parking lots are only for permit holders unless a resident utilizes the EV chargers. To learn more about County Center parking permits, visit https://countycenter.biz/directions-and-parking.
