[caption width="256" align="alignright"] Windham Mountain's electric vehicle charging station.[/caption]On Fri., Sept. 6, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a new $2 million program to help fund research and demonstration projects related to electric vehicles. Locally, it is tough to find an electric charging station. Carstations.com only lists Windham Mountain's station in Greene and Columbia counties. Windham added the station in January. The Bard College Alumni Center in Red Hook, and the currently-closed Zen Dog Cafe in Rhinebeck, in Dutchess County, are the next closest locations, with two also in Albany. Cuomo says he has a, "goal of establishing a statewide network of up to 3,000 EV charging stations over the next five years," but with only 600 right now, that's a long road ahead, with his $2 million Electric Vehicle-Enabling Technology Demonstration Program, just a jump-start.
