Installation of the five (5) new EV charging stations (10 ports/parking spaces) at the Hawthorne Train Station is now complete. Please note, however, that the EV charging stations are not yet operational as Con Edison must complete the required inspections and activation work, which is tentatively scheduled to be completed by October 1, 2026.
Parking Updates
- Monday, August 17 The 10 parking spaces designated for EV Preferred Parking will be available for commuter parking until the EV Charging Station Use Policies are finalized.
- Tuesday, August 18 The new parking lot across from the train station will return to its intended use as 2-hour parking.
EV Charging Station Use Policies
Before the charging stations become operational, the Town Board will review policies for their use at an upcoming Work Session. These policies will include, but are not limited to:
- Time limits for vehicles using the charging stations
- Whether the charging spaces will be available to both commuters and non-commuters with EVs, provided they adhere to established time limits
- Enforcement of the time-of-use policies
The Town has the ability to monitor station usage and make adjustments to the policies as needed. Final policies will be communicated before the charging stations become operational.
Other Commuter Parking
As a reminder, the following locations are available for commuter parking with a valid parking permit issued by the Town Clerk’s Office. Pango Daily Parking spaces are excluded.
- Broadway Field (behind the Hawthorne Train Station)
- Elwood Avenue Lot (in front of the Hawthorne Train Station)
- Sunset Place Lot (behind Locksmith)
- Valhalla Train Station Main Lot
Next Project Location
Town Hall will be the next site to have EV charging stations installed. Additional information will be provided as that work gets underway. View the full project details in the Town’s original announcement, Town of Mount Pleasant Adding 21 EV Charging Stations.
