In 2020, there were about three electric vehicles per 1,000 people in the New York City metro region...today that number has more than doubled to about seven vehicles per 1,000...Today there are about 158,000 electric vehicles in the New York City metro region - and that number is expected to increase tenfold by 2030

"The expansion of electric vehicle ownership is closely tied to the build-out of fast charger hubs. There are at least about 1,500 public chargers in New York City and its suburbs...up from 551 in 2019."
