New York deploys 1,850 zero emission vehicles and 1,300 EV chargers across state fleet
By Eve
New York State has deployed more than 1,850 zero emission vehicles and installed over 1,300 EV charging ports on state-owned properties, with ZEVs now representing more than 10% of the state's light-duty, non-emergency fleet. The rollout supports Governor Kathy Hochul's Executive Order 22, which mandates full transition of state light-duty vehicles to zero emission models by 2035 and medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2040. A further 550 charging ports are currently in design and construction phases, including Level 2 chargers, DC fast chargers and off-grid solar-powered systems with battery storage.
Why it matters: The deployment demonstrates significant public sector procurement momentum in New York, with over 1,300 charging ports already installed and 550 more in the pipeline, creating immediate opportunities for CPOs and infrastructure suppliers. The state's binding 2035 and 2040 electrification mandates signal sustained demand for charging infrastructure across government sites over the next decade.
