Electric Charging Station Wanted

96 President St (Columbia St)

I live nearby this location. What we need are EV charging stations on parking spots. Imagine driving across town with your last but of gas in order to fill up only to find someone (EV or not) has parked in front of the gas pump. We need proper stations such as expanding stations at IKEA parking lot or Amazon parking in Red Hook. These street spots do not serve the volume of EV users. The demand for regular parking only adds to the complexity and challenge of green options like EV. Partner with old lots, old gas stations, utilize some of the marine parking… make charging STATIONS not random street spots.

113 Nelson St (Hamilton Ave)

I support a charger at this site. The stretch of Nelson St alongside Admiral Park is a smart placement: the park frontage means fewer residential doors competing for those exact spots, so converting curb space to charging here costs the block less than it would elsewhere. It also sits at the seam between Carroll Gardens, the Columbia Waterfront, and Red Hook, so one installation serves households from all three areas, none of which currently have a single working public charger. Please build this one.

70 Nelson St (Hamilton Ave)

Please add a charger here. Since the Court St charger was lost to the street redesign, the nearest working public options are Park Slope, IKEA, or Williamsburg, which means leaving a car overnight in another neighborhood and taking the subway or a cab home. A side-street location like this one on Nelson is well suited for overnight residential charging without touching the busier Hamilton Ave or Court St corridors, and having two sites along Nelson would give the area some basic redundancy when one charger is occupied or out of service. Please build it.

26 Verona St (Richards St)

I support a charger at this location. Verona St is exactly the kind of quiet side street that works well for curbside charging: away from the busiest corridors, so cars plugged in overnight will not affect traffic, and within easy walking distance for Red Hook residents. Fast chargers in the IKEA lot would be a nice addition but are not a substitute, since residents without driveways need Level 2 charging near home where a car can sit overnight, not a 30 minute fast charge session in a store parking lot. With the new school and continued waterfront development bringing more households to this area, demand for home-adjacent charging will only grow. Please build this one.

132 4th Pl (Smith St)

I strongly support a charger at this location. Since the Court St and 1st Pl charger was made unusable by the street redesign, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, and Gowanus have had no working public charging at all. This site is well placed to fix that: it is close to the Smith St subway, the Court St commercial corridor, and dense residential blocks on both sides, so it will get overnight residential use as well as daytime turnover. Of the proposed sites in this zone it is one of the few in the walkable core of the neighborhood rather than under or alongside the BQE, which matters for people plugging in overnight. Please build this one, and please also restore working charging on or near Court St.

96 President St (Columbia St)

I live nearby on Woodhull St and strongly support a charger at this location. The Columbia Waterfront, Carroll Gardens, and Cobble Hill currently have zero working public chargers since the Court St unit was made unusable by the street redesign. The nearest options are Park Slope or Ikea, which means leaving the car overnight and taking a cab or subway home. This intersection is a practical midpoint serving Columbia Waterfront, Carroll Gardens, and Red Hook, with easy access from the BQE. A charger here would see constant use and would make EV ownership viable for households like mine that are otherwise pushed back toward gas.
