As of March 2020, 660 EV charging stations were in operation in the city.

New York City has reached this goal through multiple initiatives. In 2016, the City Council passed Local Law 160, which requires the city to install at least 25 charging stations and establish an Electric Vehicle Advisory Committee. In 2017, Mayor de Blasio announced that the city, in partnership with Con Edison, will invest $10 million to develop fast charging hubs to serve all five boroughs. And, in Mayor de Blasio’s 2020 State of City Address, he announced that the entire municipal fleet will be electric by 2040, which will likely require even more charging stations.
