On Thursday, New York Governor Kathy Huchul announced that the state will follow in California’s footsteps by banning the sale of new gas-powered cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs by 2035. As in California, it is an important step not only to advance the state’s emission reduction targets, but also to mature and advance the electric vehicle (EV) market.

That being said, New York has a big challenge to transitioning the state’s cars to electric, one that California also has but on a much smaller scale. About one in every five cars registered in the state are in New York City, an EV charging desert where very few car owners have a private driveway where they can install their own charger, as is the case in much of the country including California. In order for the state to have any prayer of coming close to its goals, it needs to figure out the difficult problem of how to get city-dwelling curbside parkers to consider EV charging not only possible but convenient.
