Electric vehicles are the up-and-coming staple of the automotive industry – transporting us to work, school, and a greener future. However, as with every new technology, EVs must overcome some obstacles before being a mainstream commodity.
Unlike operators of gas-powered cars, electric vehicle drivers do not have the security of being within the immediate radius of a gas station. Driving long distances require in-depth research of local charging stations and comprehensive power usage calculations. Some may not have a charging station anywhere near home and installing a private one is either too expensive or not allowed under many homeowners’ association bylaws.
Fortunately, the New York State legislature recently passed a law to relieve EV drivers of this stress.
