Reports of long EV charging waiting lines increasing, as more EVs from exemption reinstatement come online. Uber is partnering with Tesla to work on EV affordability & NYC EV charging infrastructure
This was a breathtakingly comprehensive article on EVs with regard to NYC TLC FHV use and the mention of the current frigid weather shenanigans happening in Chicago at the moment to EVs only compounds this issue. Every single NYC City Council member and leaders in the Mayor’s office (including Mayor Adams himself) should be reading this thoughtful analysis. NYC TLC is NOT READY for 100% EV fleet by 2030. Not by a long shot and this well written exposé proves that. Thank you. It is this type of intelligent, hard hitting breakdowns that are needed to overcome the politically expedient motivations that will have a devastating impact to the FHV industry. The TLC already almost destroyed the yellow taxi business. Let’s not have a grander scale repeat for the FHV industry, which truly does cover every nook and cranny of this City-not just the lower half of Manhattan. I really hope NYC will reconsider their EV mandate. Thanks, again. Great work!
Appreciate the kind words! Hopefully it'll make it to their inboxes and they won't be offended by the criticism as well (second issue after/if it reaches them). We have two events now coming up (1) the final NYTWA lawsuit judgement and (2) the annual February FHV License Determination report (should be published in March, if not before). Between those two things, let's see what happens!
Once a year (used to be twice a year) the TLC, based on studying data and other factors, determines if new FHV Licenses (TLC Plates) should be issued OR whether the status quo TLC Plate Cap with WAV/[EV] exemptions, should remain. Hope that helps!
It amazes me that the TLC didn’t realize (or did they) that drivers were desperate for their own plates and not really desperate to get an EV. Smh
