New York adds 14 lamppost EV chargers as Voltpost targets drivers without driveways

New York is testing a curbside EV-charging approach that mounts chargers directly onto existing lampposts, targeting drivers who live in apartments or dense neighborhoods without driveways. Voltpost’s New York expansion adds seven dual-port lamppost chargers across Albany, Saratoga Springs, and Cold Spring, for 14 new charging ports total: three chargers each in Albany and Saratoga Springs, and one in Cold Spring. The program builds on deployments in Westchester County (including Larchmont), Brooklyn, and Glen Falls, with future sites planned for Yonkers and Rye. During Climate Week, Voltpost is also providing free charging at its MADE Bush Terminal dispenser in Brooklyn. The units max out at 9.6 kW and use the Voltpost app to locate, track, and pay.
