EVolve NY is pleased to offer a first-of-its-kind fast charging program for those using our JFK EVolve NY fast charging hub. If you drive a fully-electric vehicle, or manage a fleet with fully-electric vehicles that drive over 300 miles per vehicle per week, we are offering a “Frequent Driver” program that discounts charging rates relative to our base rates, in exchange for a commitment to consistently utilize our JFK fast charging station.
Key Program Details:
- Participants must own or operate at least one fast charging-capable vehicle that travels at least 300 miles per week, and commit to using JFK for at least half of their EV charging needs.
- Pricing: 20 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh, the standard unit of electricity EVs consume). To put that in perspective, driving 300 miles consumers roughly 100 kWh, which would cost $20. Driving 300 miles on an average gasoline vehicle today would cost more than $40.
- Timeline: the pilot program will run through the end of 2022, at which point EVolve NY may extend, modify, or terminate the program at its discretion. Enrollment is open to all that qualify on a rolling basis, throughout the program term.
- Eligible locations: only charging sessions at JFK airport at this time will have access to the Frequent Driver program pricing. Drivers are also eligible to use any other Electrify America stations in the New York City area as well, which will have the monthly “Pass + “ pricing fee ($4) waived, and have the pricing of 31 cents per kWh.
- App: pricing must be accessed via the Electrify America app, downloadable through the App Store or Google Play store.
Interested participants can fill out our inquiry form here. After filling out the form, someone from the EVolve NY program will be in touch to confirm your participation eligibility (note: EVolve NY will monitor program energy usage, and reserves the right to withdraw program access to drivers not meeting mileage thresholds). If confirmed, EVolve NY will give you 2 pieces of information you'll need to access the Frequent Driver fast charging program through the Electrify America app:
- An enrollment code, which you'll input into the app by navigating to "Account -> Premium Offers -> "I have an enrollment code"
- A VIN number, which is just a placeholder ID number for EVolve NY to measure electricity usage
Note: you will also need to enter in a valid credit card number into the app as well to pay for the charging sessions. Once you've done this, the Electrify America app should indicate that you have been accepted into the program, and you may access the pricing at our JFK EVolve NY site. If any issues arise, you can email support@electrifyamerica.com, call the support line (833-632-2778), or email EVolve NY at EvolveNY@nypa.gov.
