Nick Reisman reports for New York State of Politics that on Sept. 12, Gov.

To phase-out gas-fueled vehicles in New York, the state will need to have many fast-charging stations for cars and trucks throughout the state. "Through key strategic partnerships, New York is driving the advancement of cutting-edge clean energy technologies that will have a global impact in the fight against climate change," Hochul said. "New York's collaboration with the state of Israel, a hub for innovative, clean energy technologies, will deliver forward-thinking solutions that will strengthen New York's EV infrastructure."
