Tesla chargers in NYC to outnumber gas stations

Tesla plans to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging network in New York City by installing 105 charging stations in Manhattan by the end of March. The EV chargers are expected to outnumber the 40 gas stations currently present in the Big Apple, reported the New York Post.

Tesla had equipped 68 Manhattan garages with 'destination chargers' and opened a 40,000-square-foot showroom and service garage in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

The urban EV chargers can provide a full charge within four hours and most of them will be free to Tesla car owners.

Tesla “supercharger stations”, which can fully recharge a car within 40 minutes, have already been installed along highways nationwide.
