E-Mobility Technologies
and Funding

Creating a sustainable transportation system requires accelerating adoption of electric mobility options in place of vehicles and equipment that run on fossil fuels like gas or diesel. To promote this transition and meet State climate goals, New York is working to increase electric vehicle adoption, public transit access, and low-carbon mobility alternatives.

Electric mobility, or e-mobility, encompasses a variety of electrically powered transportation devices, including:

• Electric vehicles (plug-in hybrid, battery-electric, and fuel cell electric vehicles)
• Electric buses and transit vehicles
• Electric micro mobility technologies, such as electric-assist bikes (e-bikes) and electric scooters (e-scooters)

A growing network of charging stations, increasing consumer choice in electric vehicles, and State and federal incentives, continue to make going electric an easier, cost-saving decision for New Yorkers.

Low-income New Yorkers, youth, and residents in urban centers and disadvantaged communities are more likely to rely on transit and active forms of travel like walking and biking. E-mobility technologies, such as e-bikes and e-scooters, can help expand equitable access to electrified transit, especially when incorporated in a shared micro mobility system (e.g., bikeshare programs).
