It’s climate week, and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office rolled out on Wednesday several initiatives to attempt to lead the country in safe climate practices.
“Today we announced the single largest investment in electric vehicles in New York state history,” de Blasio said at a Sept. 22 press conference.
The city will invest $75 million in electric vehicles and making vehicle charging stations available throughout the city. The mayor said there will be 275 fast electric vehicle chargers, which are seven times faster than regular chargers.
