EV Charging Options for State Vehicles
State agencies can enroll in an EV charging pilot to charge their state-owned ZEVs at commercial stations using their WEX account at ChargePoint, EV Connect, EVGo and Flo stations. Once enrolled, WEX will provide the agency with an RFID fob which is tied to that vehicle's WEX card. When the RFID is used, the charging cost incurred will show up on the agency’s monthly WEX card bill. To enroll, contact Janet Parker [email protected].
When charging your vehicle at commercial stations, please be aware that station usage may incur an ‘idle’ fee for vehicles left on the charger after the charge is complete.
State agencies can also charge their ZEVs at OGS owned charging stations. Agencies who enroll with OGS Parking Services will be provided EV Connect RFID fobs to use at these locations. To enroll in this program, contact OGS Parking Services [email protected]. Use “NYS Fleet Fob Request for OGS-owned Chargers (Agency Name)” in the subject line.
When charging your vehicle at state-owned stations, please be cognizant that the stations are shared with state employees for charging personal vehicles. Please do not leave the vehicle idle after the charge is complete.
