All EV charging stations occupied in MTA garage at North White Plains train station.

Yesterday's post stated that 5 of 8 EV (electric vehicle) charging stations were occupied in parking spaces provided by the City of White Plains near the White Plains train station in the adjacent Fire Station parking area. Lack of signs and an absurd location were mentioned as possible explanations for the empty spaces. Today at about 10:45 AM only 4 of 8 had EV charging there. Maybe people are still away on summer vacation. Except, ...

Photos below are for the year old Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) five story parking garage on the east side of the train tracks at the North White Plains train station.

Westchester County has surface parking at that train station but apparently does not provide any EV charging stations. Nor does the county have them in the County Center parking lot near the White Plains train station.

I did not notice any EV sign outside the MTA garage but there was one inside the main entrance.

Level 2: Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Those EV charging stations are clearly visible as soon as you exit the elevator on Level 2.

Striped no parking areas on both ends.

All seven EV charging stations were occupied at about 10:00 AM today. The Toyota Rav 4 on the right is not an EV and that's probably why it was booted.

Obviously, the signs are clear. And while only half the City of White Plains EV spaces were charging today, those in the MTA garage, one Metro North train stop away, were all full (one against the charging rules).

So, there seem to be EV owners who want to charge their EV at the train stations. And there are people living in downtown White Plains apartments who need EV charging stations at their apartment buildings. More on that in subsequent posts.
