Has anyone charged their car in Manhattan? Are all the charging stations in garages? Thanks

Based on map, only level 2 it seems in garages. Some dealers like BMW also have chargers which may be faster at 25kw.

Luckily the island isn’t that big so you prob don’t need a lot of charge and most driving is low speed or in traffic which is where EVs shine.

Con Ed is working on street chargers but who knows how long that will be. There are DC fast chargers in close surrounding areas like NJ, Queens, Bronx, Westchester, LI, etc.

I see a new public city one on Randalls Island which is 50kw. Seems like it is built for city fleet vehicles but open to the public.

From FAQ:

Do I have to pay a toll to come to Randall’s Island?
Yes, the RFK Triborough Bridge toll is currently $8.50. (Less with NY EZPass)

Note: There is only a toll upon entering Randall’s Island. There is no toll when exiting the Island.
Are you sure there is not a toll leaving randall's Island to go back to Manhattan. On Google maps it seems like there is one

Added the links to the info. You can always take Queensboro Bridge to the Queens Electrify America fast chargers for free if the toll is a dealbreaker.
