Curbside electric
car chargers set
for Park Slope
BLUEPRINT: The city plans to install 100 electric car charging stations around New York, including six
in Park Slope, by the end of the year. Department of Transportation
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
Park Slope is juicing up!
City transportation gurus
unveiled their plan to
bring electric car charging
stations to Park Slope
by year’s end at a June 20
meeting of Community
Board 6, arguing that dedicated
curbside chargers
are necessary to facilitate
carbon-free vehicles.
“The purpose is to encourage
electric vehicle
ownership, because
people feel like they have
range anxiety,” said Department
of Transportation
rep Susan McSherry.
“They may want an electric
vehicle, and they’re
very concerned about climate
change, and they’re
very concerned about air
quality, but they don’t
know where to charge
their car.”
The plan is part of an
effort to build 100 curbside
charging ports citywide
— including six for
Park Slope — as a pilot
program for a possible future
expansion. The stations,
which are capable
of charging two cars simultaneously,
would occupy
two parking spaces
each and provide juice at
competitive rates, according
to McSherry.
“The cost will be by
time. You’ll pull in, and it
will charge by the hour,”
she said. “It will be a
charge cost comparable to
gasoline.”
Department reps estimated
that cars would
occupy the spaces for between
four and eight hours
to fully charge, depending
on the type of vehicle and
the size of the battery. Internal
combustion vehicles
— or electric cars that
overstay their welcome —
would be subject to a $115
ticket for parking in a “no
standing” zone.
The city is currently
studying fi ve locations for
the new charging stations,
including:
• Fifth Avenue and 13th
Street
• Fourth Avenue and
First Street
• Seventh Avenue and
Seventh Street
• Prospect Park West
and Fifth Street
• Prospect Park West
and 10th Street
Those locations, which
were selected based on
criteria including median
income, travel data, and
ownership of electric vehicles,
have not been fi -
nalized, and the city is
still working to identify
a sixth and fi nal location,
according to McSherry.
The pilot project is being
developed in partnership
with Con Edison,
which is picking up the
tab for construction of
the stations, according to
McSherry, who said the
charging ports would be
operational by next fall.
The electricity used by
the stations will be generated
by fossil fuels, but department
offi cials argue
that electric vehicles emit
less carbon dioxide than
their gas-burning counterparts,
which will help
reach the city’s goal of cutting
greenhouse gas emissions
to 20 percent of current
levels by 2050.
