Will Electric Cars Give New York a Charge? Imagine it is 2013 in New York City. Instead, while you recharge your battery after a long day at work, your new electric car could be recharging as well. Others, however, think the city should focus more in getting people out of cars altogether.

Revel aims to promote EV adoption in cities by solving two interrelated problems: The company’s rideshare fleet generates demand to justify the cost of installing DC fast chargers, and its charging Superhub ensures that the fleet stays charged, while also offering charging to the public. It’s a kind of new time crunch.

The vehicles worked well, but the costs were high at that time, and the company decided that the technology wasn’t mature enough for full commercialization. A few years ago, finding that EV tech had advanced, Mack decided to build an electric truck for a long-time customer, the New York City Department of Sanitation.

Public transit buses are also steadily electrifying, led by California, New York City and the Washington, DC area as well as cities like Pittsburgh and Phoenix.

Charged attended the New York City E-Prix in July, and spoke with several execs from EV infrastructure powerhouse ABB. But what’s really important is upfront cost, and we know that upfront cost is going to go down year over year. This was really the focus in 2010 through 2013.

It makes sense for organizations to focus on their core activities, so just as they outsource things like IT or building maintenance, many want to outsource the charging infrastructure for their electric fleets. The good news is that more OEM product is starting to come to the market. It’s fragmented.

How long GM will be able to keep that price in the face of battery cost increases and inflationary pressure, is anyone’s guess. It has already started to increase the cost of its Chevrolet Bolt EVs , which it had slashed last year, “due to ongoing industry-related pricing pressures.” In some aspects, EV drivers return to these roots.

“They rejected my request to allow cyclists to hose off their bikes in the alley behind the building, which cost nothing. Considering the costs associated with installation and maintenance and anticipating the resistance I’m likely to encounter, I decided to put my charger crusade on hold.” What will EV chargers cost me?
