Chargepoint Stations Popping Up In Western New York

EV drivers in Southern Ontario can now make a trip to Western New York State. With the $1 million dollar funding for charging stations Chargepoint stations are popping up every day. It is possible to make it in a Nissan Leaf from the boarder to Erie PA or depending on how long you plan on charging maybe all the way to Albany NY and beyond. The level 2 chargers will help get more drivers in New York State to adapt to electric cars and it will also make it easier for those traveling from Canada or other nearby sates to get to more places in the state. As we live just 30 minutes away from the boarder this is great news for us and we plan on making a few trips in the Leaf for shopping or mini-getaways. As more stations are added hopefully one day there will be a Leaf with a little bit more range and we can make it all the way down to New York City.  The Chargepoint card works with US and Canadian charging stations on their network. In addition to the Chargepoint station using an app like PlugShare can help you find alternative stations in case the Chargepoint station is not working or being used.
