The Dime Building at 275 South Fifth Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is now home to the largest ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging hub in New York State. Building owners Charney Companies and Tavros Capital recently announced the deal with electric vehicle company Revel, which will also relocate its corporate headquarters to the development.
The hub is open to the public seven days a week and offers 16 ultra-fast EV charging stalls that can fully replenish a vehicle in 20 minutes or less.
While the number of stalls may seem insignificant, the project is the largest publicly accessible hub in the state, and aligns with Governor Kathy Hochul’s aim to end the sale of gas-powered vehicles in New York by 2035.

Revel’s office space will occupy around 7,000 square feet of the building’s commercial volume. Additional components include 177 rental units and a suite of hotel-inspired amenity spaces that include a private garden, coworking spaces, a half-basketball court, and more.
The building was completed last year.

Mayor Adams doing everything but investing in the cities cycling and public transit infrastructure. But yeah, woohoo more spaces for electric cars for the 23% of people that actually own a car (not electric specifically) in the city.
New York City is making a mistake by not using the abandoned rail line for a new subway line. A major mistake.
Improving the condition of the subway system by expanding, upgrading, AND making it safer should be among the top priorities of the government. When I lived in NYC the 3rd Ave El was torn down and promises were made of immediately building a new subway line. Some of the people who were older than I did not believe that the line would be built. I did and was an enthusiastic voter for the new bond issue to pay for the line. I left NYC and later learned that the construction was abandoned and maybe some of what was built was filled in. I was also told that this was not the first such promise.
The line to replace the 3rd Ave line in the Bronx should have been the top priority. Instead, other extensions were built.
Also, the new 2nd Ave line should be a local and express line that should extend into the Bronx.
The picture of the mayor shows the charger cable plugged into a Tesla. Why does text say a “rebel” EV?
BTW Tesla 88 DC fast chargers in NY state, largest one has 18 stalls and more than enough to drive a Tesla any where in the state. Two stations are open to all EV brands and more opening soon.
Also at their Buffalo factory they make 10,000 charging stalls per year.
Because of Tesla NY is ahead of most states in EV infrastructure – no tax $ used.
