New York’s Newest Public EV Charger Could Add 200 Miles Of Range In 5 Minutes

Overview:

• New York City is leading the way in EV adoption with more electric taxis than any other U.S. city and Gravity opening the fastest DC charging station in the U.S. near Times Square.
• The chargers are capable of adding 2,400 miles of range per hour, catering to EVs with high voltage and current ratings like the Lucid Air and GMC Hummer EV.
• Gravity’s future plans include installing one-megawatt chargers and building equipment themselves for quick deployment.
• The new charging station is open to the public and commercial fleets, offers free parking, and features a novel design with ceiling-mounted charging cable holders.

Quote:

“The chargers are rated for 500 kilowatts and can theoretically add up to 2,400 miles per hour. That means 40 miles of range in a minute and 200 miles in about five minutes—just the amount of time it takes to refuel a gas car.”
