New York reports 323,000 EVs and plug-in hybrids registered, backed by nearly $3 billion state investment

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) reports 323,000 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids registered statewide in 2024, part of a total 600,000 electrified vehicles including older hybrids. The state is investing nearly $3 billion in zero emission vehicles and charging infrastructure, which now includes more than 20,000 publicly available Level 2 fast charger ports at over 5,250 locations according to the U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center. The EVolve NY Network has deployed more than 300 fast chargers along major corridors including the NYS Thruway, I-87 and I-90.
Why it matters: The nearly $3 billion state commitment and rapid expansion to over 5,250 charging locations signals sustained procurement opportunities for CPOs and contractors across New York's highway and urban networks. The 323,000 registered EVs and plug-in hybrids represent a growing utilisation base that justifies further infrastructure investment and operational contracts.
