The Federal Highway Administration announced Tuesday that it had greenlighted the state’s plan to install more than 60,000 electric vehicle charging stations along major highways. The state transportation department plans to install charging stations roughly every 50 miles along New York highways, using a combination of federal electric vehicle funds and state incentives for private property owners. The U.S. Department of Transportation has committed $63 million in federal funding to help New York finance the network of new plugs.
