subject: Electrify America Adds MEGA Battery Backup to Charging Stations
https://cleantechnica.com/2022/10/20/electrify-america-adds-mega-battery-backup-to-charging-stations/
I didn't notice any electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the solar panels in the recreation department parking lot (GedneyWay). Are there any EV charging stations at any of the other such locations in White Plains? If not, why not.
Where can the thousands of White Plains residents, who live in apartments, charge their EV? The city needs to mandate that apartment buildings, new and OLD, provide EV charging stations in or near their garages. I don't think that the new Mitchell building has them. I think that Continuum II has some Tesla charging stations. And that office building conversion across the street may have generic EV charging stations. The Seasons condo has some and supposedly a co-op on Old Mamaroneck Road.
What about the aforementioned three residential developments under construction on Barker and/or Hamilton? They will add 2,300 residential parking spaces. I think that total new parking spaces for recent and upcoming apartment buildings exceeds 11,000. It's wishful thinking to assume that the developers will do it on their own.
Are the number of municipal EV charging stations increasing from 28 to 90 and, if so, what's the schedule? Can apartment residents rely on them rather than EV charging stations at the garages where they live?
With Common Council members elected at large and pretending to represent all citizens, in the last half century probably ninety percent of the time seats are filled by members who live in houses, representing the interests of the people on their street, people who can charge an EV in their private garages.
Note: multiple inquiries to the Parking department, including one to the email of the commissioner, have gone unanswered.
