Electric Vehicle Charging Plan

The objective of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Plan is to recommend strategies for supporting current and future EV drivers traveling within the region and between regions across the state. The range of EVs continues to improve each year and is quickly approaching that of a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle that uses petroleum fuel. However, there remains a critical need for additional charging stations to facilitate longer distance travel, support inter-county commutes and provide access to charging opportunities for more moderate-income households and owners of earlier generations of EVs. The EV Plan helps Oneida County develop infrastructure that is found around the country and lays the groundwork for the evolution of the transportation network. The interrelationship the EV Plan build-out has with climate resiliency can not go unnoticed.
