Harbors at Haverstraw has recently activated hundreds of Level 2 electric vehicle chargers across a dozen buildings, marking the largest EV charging project in Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R)’s service territory. This initiative, a more than $2 million investment, was made possible through O&R’s PowerReady incentive program.
Transportation emissions from cars, trucks, and buses are among the leading sources of carbon emissions nationwide. Through the PowerReady program, O&R, in collaboration with INF Associates, covered over 85 percent of the costs for upgrading Harbors at Haverstraw’s electric infrastructure, making it capable of supporting hundreds of Level 2 EV chargers. These chargers are capable of fully recharging a vehicle’s battery overnight.
The upgrades aim to make electric vehicle adoption more affordable for both station operators and drivers. Andrew Farrell, director of E-Mobility at O&R, commented, “Through our PowerReady incentive program, we’re supporting the buildout of a widespread network to bring electric vehicle charging to all drivers in our region. We are proud to support the largest electric vehicle charging site in our service territory as we work with our community partners to transition away from fossil fuels and towards a cleaner energy future.”
Charles dePuthod, president of INF Associates, also expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We are thrilled to have partnered with Harbors at Haverstraw, O&R, and FirstService Residential on this groundbreaking EV charging project. This initiative not only supports the transition to sustainable transportation but also underscores our commitment to providing innovative and reliable EV charging solutions. By increasing the availability of charging stations, this project will encourage more people to adopt electric vehicles, contributing to New York State’s ambitious climate goals. INF is proud to be a developer supporting the electrification across the state, and this project represents a significant step towards a cleaner environment and a sustainable future.”
