# New York City Awards EV Charger Installation Contract

New York City has awarded a contract to the Brooklyn-based startup It's Electric to install 700 curbside Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) chargers across all five boroughs over a three-year period starting in 2023. This initiative supports the city's strategic goal to electrify all rideshare vehicles by 2030, addressing the critical challenge of providing accessible EV charging infrastructure in dense urban neighborhoods with limited off-street parking options.

- The contract focuses on neighborhoods with high concentrations of rideshare drivers, indicating targeted deployment to maximize utilization and impact.
- Procurement professionals should note the emphasis on curbside Level 2 chargers, which may influence future EV infrastructure solicitations in urban environments.
- Contractors specializing in EV charging solutions and urban infrastructure installation can leverage this opportunity to engage with municipal agencies pursuing electrification goals.
- This project reflects growing municipal commitments to sustainable transportation and may signal increased funding and procurement activity in EV infrastructure across other cities.
