The New York Public Service Commission (PSC) must establish a commercial tariff to facilitate faster EV charging. In establishing this tariff, the PSC must use alternatives to traditional demand-based rate structures, other operation cost relief mechanisms, or a combination of approaches. The PSC must include mechanisms that enable customers whose largest electricity demand is from EVs to opt into the commercial tariff without unreasonable delay.
(Reference Senate Bill 7836, 2022)
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Signage and Parking Space Regulation
Individuals may stop, stand, or park a motor vehicle within any parking space specifically designated for parking and charging EVs unless the motor vehicle is an EV. Any vehicle that is not actively charging may not park in designated EV charging parking spaces. An EV is presumed to not be charging if it is parked at a charging station and is not connected to the charger for longer than 30 minutes. Conspicuous and permanently installed signage is required to properly identify the EV station parking and charging restrictions.
(Reference New York Consolidated Laws Vehicle and Traffic Section 1202)
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Policies for Homeowners' Associations
Homeowner associations may not prohibit or restrict the installation or use of an EV charging station in a homeowner’s designated parking space. Associations may put reasonable restrictions on EV charging stations located on property owned by associations or in common spaces. The EV charging station owner is responsible for the cost of installation and maintenance. Residents are required to comply with all local, state, and federal laws and health and safety standards. Additional requirements apply.
(Reference Assembly Bill 6165, 2022 and New York Consolidated Laws Real Property Section 343)
Electric Vehicle (EV) Policies for Condominiums
Condominium associations may not prohibit or restrict the installation or use of EV charging stations in a homeowner’s designated parking space. Condominium associations may put reasonable restrictions on EV charging stations, but the policies may not significantly increase the cost of the EV charging stations or prohibit installation. Homeowners must comply with applicable health and safety codes and architectural standards, engage a licensed installation contractor, and provide a certificate of insurance. The homeowner is responsible for the cost of the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, removal, or replacement of the station in their parking space, as well as any resulting damage to the EV charging station or surrounding area. (Reference New York Consolidated Laws Real Property Section 339-LL)
Electric Vehicle (EV) and Charging Infrastructure Support
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) EVolve NY program has allocated up to $250 million to support EVs and address charging infrastructure gaps throughout the state. EVolve NY will implement this funding in phases.

In July 2022, the Task Force published a multi-state action plan to support electrification of MHD vehicles. The action plan includes strategies and recommendations to accomplish the goals of the MOU, including limiting all new MHD vehicle sales in the signatory states to ZEVs by 2050, accelerating the deployment of MHD ZEVs, and ensuring MHD ZEV deployment also benefits disadvantaged communities.
For more information, see the [Medium- and Heavy-Duty ZEVs: Action Plan Development Process]https://www-f.nescaum.org/documents/multi-state-medium-and-heavy-duty-zero-emission-vehicle-action-plan/) website.
Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Requirement
New York has adopted the California Advanced Clean Trucks requirements specified in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, requiring manufacturers to meet California’s ZEV production and sales requirements. Beginning with model year 2025, manufacturers will be required to sell zero-emission trucks as an increasing percentage of their annual sales for Class 2b through Class 8 vehicles in New York. ZEVs include all-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. For more information, see the New York Department of Environmental Conservation Emission Standards for Motor Vehicles and Motor Vehicle Engines.

- The Commissioner of Social Services waives the requirements;
- Zero emission bus acquisition, recharging, or refueling equipment would result in unreasonable costs to the school district; or,
- Vehicles do not meet performance requirements.
Zero emission school buses may be powered by electricity or hydrogen. Before acquiring a zero emission bus, school districts must create a workforce development report that estimates the impact of zero emission buses on employment opportunities, identifies maintenance staff training needs, and estimates costs to train employees in how to operate zero emission buses and infrastructure.
(Reference Senate Bill 8006, 2022)
Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Deployment Support
New York joined California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont in signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to support the deployment of ZEVs through involvement in a ZEV Program Implementation Task Force (Task Force). In May 2014, the Task Force published a ZEV Action Plan (Plan) identifying 11 priority actions to accomplish the goals of the MOU, including deploying at least 3.3 million ZEVs and adequate fueling infrastructure within the signatory states by 2025. The Plan also includes a research agenda to inform future actions. On an annual basis, each state must report on the number of registered ZEVs, the number of public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and hydrogen fueling stations, and available information regarding workplace fueling for ZEVs.
In June 2018, the Task Force published a new ZEV Action Plan for 2018-2021. Building on the 2014 Action Plan, the 2018 Action Plan makes recommendations for states and other key partners in five priority areas:
- Raising consumer awareness and interest in electric vehicle technology;
- Building out a reliable and convenient residential, workplace and public charging/fueling infrastructure network;
- Continuing and improving access to consumer purchase and non-financial incentives;
- Expanding public and private sector fleet adoption; and
- Supporting dealership efforts to increase ZEV sales.
For more information, see the Multi-State ZEV Task Force website.
