Tesla to double the number of charging stations in New York City.
Tesla Motors Inc. has made up its mind to increase the number of charging stations in New York City. The number will rise to 105 by the end of March as per The New York Post. The company is devoted to expanding its network in urban cities of fast charging infrastructure. So it is quite astonishing to note that it is relatively easier to charge the Tesla cars in New York rather than filling its gasoline tank from any other tank station in the vicinity.
In compliance to the recent move, the charging stations belonging to Tesla will beat the number of gas stations in Manhattan by almost a double. The initiative to increase the electric car charging infrastructure is governed by Mr. Elon Musk, the Chief Executive Officer of the company. The company is all set to launch is Model 3 electric car during this event scheduled for March 31st, 2016.
Tesla Motors at this point of time is going through a transition where initially it was a seller of high end luxury vehicles to a mass market car supplier. To add weightage to its dreams, it needs to increase the charging stations. The electric cars and charging stations run parallel to each other, since the cars are mostly functioning on battery juice, thus a charging station nearby will cater to the range issues.
Back in 2015, the electric car giant faced this issue when it was making its debut in China. The company did not really have many charging station in comparison to the population of the high density cities. Other than that, most of the individuals reside in apartments. This issue is seen in most busy cities across the globe including New York.
It needs to be noted that Supercharging stations are relatively difficult to establish in densely populated cities. Thus understanding this problem, the company has come up with distinct options in terms of charging facilities known as Destination Chargers that are placed between restaurants and hotels. These were designed to save the Chinese operations. However, TSLA finds it convenient to come up with charging facilities in the garages housed in New York.
At present, there are almost 1,500 owners of Tesla cars in New York City where the electric car giant has decided to collaborate with garage companies to offer charging facilities as it is inclined to establishing Supercharging stations in the vicinity. The initiative was initially revealed in August, 2015 where Tesla joined forces with 24 garages in the vicinity as mentioned by the New York Times.
The previous week was extremely eventful since garage companies and a bunch of hotels collaborated with TSLA to offer support for the charging facilities.
Most of the people usually park their vehicles in garages; it will give them the advantage to charge those vehicles provided some incentive in the form of extra miles is given. So the company is coming up with a great facility that will benefit all those owners who wish to charge their EVs with ease.
