Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
There was a time when combustion-powered cars didn’t make any sense in New York. In fact, back in 1898, when the city’s first cab service got started, EVs ruled the roads. The Electric Carriage and Wagon Company ran from 1898 until 1907, and in that time it got the United States’ first speeding ticket and was also involved in the first pedestrian fatality. Sadly, 300 of the company’s cars were burnt in a fire, and then the Panic of 1907 hit, causing the company to collapse.
Now, the city is going to return rideshare cars to the city’s electric past, requiring all rideshare vehicles to be fully electric by 2030. Mayor Eric Adams of New York City, along with Commissioner David Do of the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission , recently unveiled the “Green Rides” rule. This groundbreaking regulation mandates that the rideshare fleet in the city must transition to either zero-emission or wheelchair accessible vehicles by 2030.
According to the mayor’s office, the city isn’t going to hope for the best when it comes to charging. The city has plans to install many new charging stations for taxis and rideshare drivers, especially DC fast chargers . They’re also hoping that the requirement inspires the private sector to build more EVs and charging infrastructure, and they point out that Revel alone has already planned to triple the available L3 chargers.
“While others make suggestions, Mayor Adams and the TLC are taking action. The Green Rides initiative and new EV licenses will put New York City on the forefront of EV adoption. Other cities should take note of the environmental and public health victory that was won today,” said Frank Reig, co-founder and CEO of Revel.
