New York City regulations are making it difficult for electric car owners to access charging stations.
Drivers of electric vehicles New York are currently experiencing major problems recharging their batteries. They can wait for hours in front of the stations Supercharger.
A delicate situation caused in part by last measurements taken by the city regarding carpooling fleets.
New York wants to be cleaner with electric Ubers
The “Taxi and Limousine Commission” of New York recently required that all new chauffeur-driven vehicle licenses be granted exclusively to electric cars.
Although this decision is favorable to ecological issues, it has led to a considerable increase of the number of electric vehicles, in particular those of the brandElon Musk. The partnership between Tesla and Uber which offers discounts for drivers has only made the phenomenon worse.
Tesla drivers have to wait hours at Superchargers
Faced with this rapid increase, Tesla Superchargers are facing a huge demand. People report waiting times lasting up to two hours.
For example, a driver named Hoja reported on X: ” I wait [régulièrement] here for an hour just to get to the charging station, then another hour to get at least 80% autonomy ».
It will become imperative to expand and improve charging station infrastructure in the coming years. It seems that the manufacturer Tesla does everything necessary to make the use of its products as easy as possible.
THE city authoritiesfor their part, seem slightly overwhelmed by the situation and should improve their collaboration with the main players in this market in order to find solutions.
While waiting for the installation of other charging stations to reduce waiting times, Tesla has introduced additional costs of one dollar per minute for charges that go beyond 80% in order to encourage drivers not to fully recharge their vehicle.
This is because empty batteries charge faster at first and slow down as they approach full capacity.
Authorities overwhelmed by the explosion of electric vehicles
In parallel with this initiative, Revela company with a large fleet of electric vehicles, has installed its own “ superhubs » recharge. Even if it uses them as a priority, it offered individuals the possibility of using them.
