SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The campus of SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) now has 18 new electric-vehicle (EV) charging plugs.
Officials from National Grid (NYSE: NGG) and SUNY ESF held an Oct. 20 ceremonial ribbon cutting to acknowledge the installation.
The plugs are available for public use in the college’s P22 lot, located on Standart Street.
National Grid says it has invested more than $160,000 for the project through its electric-vehicle charging station make-ready program. That program provides financial support to businesses that install chargers for its employees or the public.
National Grid’s make-ready program will pay for up to 100 percent of the electric-infrastructure costs associated with new electric-vehicle charging stations, per the utility’s website.
National Grid says it will also reduce an organization’s time investment by providing a dedicated point of contact and “streamlined, step-by-step experience” installing the EV charging stations.
