The Town of Mount Pleasant is pleased to announce a partnership with Westchester County, INF Associates and Con Edison to bring new public electric vehicle charging infrastructure to four key locations throughout the Town. Installation work will begin at the Hawthorne Train Station on Monday, July 27, continuing through the fall. During construction, commuter parking will be temporarily available across the street in the new parking lot. Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi said the program which comes at no cost to the Town*, was approved by the Town Board two years ago. The project is part of a five-year County initiative to expand access to EV charging stations county-wide. With electric vehicle adoption continuing to grow year-over-year within New York State and the county, these new charging stations will help address one of the most common barriers to EV ownership: access to reliable public charging close to where people live, work, commute, and gather. “Our Town has been a leader in adding energy-saving technologies,” Supervisor Fulgenzi said. “I am pleased that this significant expansion of our EV charging stations will provide our residents with many more convenient charging opportunities.” The Town and INF Associates are moving forward with the installation of (21) Level 2 ChargePoint CP6000 charging stations, providing a total of (41) universal charging ports across the following high-traffic Town locations: Hawthorne Train Station: 5 charging stations / 10 ports Valhalla Train Station: 5 charging stations / 10 ports Town Hall: 6 charging stations / 11 ports Community Center & Town Pool Complex: 5 charging stations / 10 ports These stations are designed to serve all electric vehicles, with Tesla drivers able to charge using the appropriate charging adapter. The Town, Westchester County, and INF Associates took a driver-first approach in developing these projects, ultimately choosing to deploy consistent charging equipment across Mount Pleasant and other participating municipalities. Whether for first-time or seasoned EV owners, this uniform approach is intended to make public charging more predictable and user-friendly for all. INF Associates have worked closely with the Town and Westchester County to support these projects through design services, engineering, utility coordination, procurement, and project management. *As part of this process, INF Associates helped secure Con Edison Level 2 EV Charging Make-Ready Program rebates to offset project costs, with remaining funding provided by Westchester County. Installation at the remaining three locations will follow, with notices provided in advance of work beginning at each site.
