The Town of Ramapo Planning Board recently voted unanimously to approve the installation of eight Level 3 electric vehicle charging stations in the parking lot of Evergreen Town Square in Monsey, marking a significant expansion of fast-charging infrastructure in the area.
The application was approved by a 7-0 vote. According to officials, Orange & Rockland has already reviewed and approved the project, clearing another major hurdle ahead of installation, which is expected to move forward in the coming weeks or months.
Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, are significantly faster than standard home or public charging stations and can typically charge many electric vehicles from roughly 10% to 80% in approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the vehicle and charger.
“This is a major addition for the neighborhood,” Ramapo Planning Board Chairman Yisroel Eisenbach told Monsey Scoop. “There is a clear need for additional fast-charging options in the area, and the board understood that need. We were pleased to unanimously approve a project that will provide an important and convenient service for residents.”
The location at Evergreen Town Square will allow EV drivers to charge their vehicles while shopping or visiting businesses in the busy shopping center, providing a convenient new charging option for Monsey-area residents.
