A DCAS Fleet Initiative · Concept
Every city charger.
One shared network.
NYC agencies each run their own EV chargers as siloed assets. ChargeNYC pools them into one reservable network — agencies first, emergency fleets always, and the public when ports would otherwise sit idle.
One live map
Every city-owned charger across six agencies with real-time port status. Visibility into capital the city has already spent.
Reservations with priority
Any agency driver can book a window at any city site. Emergency fleets always preempt. No-shows auto-release after 15 minutes.
Public access in idle windows
When a charger has no agency demand, it opens to the public at a set rate — idle infrastructure becomes revenue and citywide EV support.

Agency Driver
Jordan Rivera · DOT
See every city charger on one map, check today's timelines, and reserve a charging window at any site — not just your own agency's.
New Yorker
Alex Morgan · Public
Check live availability before you drive — see which public chargers have open ports right now, reserve a spot, or just plug in.

My Reservations
Your charging windows across the network, any agency site.
Arrive within 15 minutes of your window or the port is released automatically.

One shared network across six agencies. Utilization of chargers the city already owns — before and after shared scheduling.

Charge near you
Live availability at city-owned chargers open to the public — check before you drive, so you never pull up to a full station.
Public availability never displaces agency need — it ends automatically when agency reservations resume.
Rollout Plan
Three phases. Each one delivers value on its own, and each one de-risks the next.
See the network
Every city-owned charger across agencies on one live map with real-time port status. Internal only — no workflow change for any agency. Low risk, immediate visibility into an asset base the city has already paid for.
Internal only · Low riskShare the network
Agency drivers reserve charging windows at any city site. Priority tiers keep emergency fleets first, always. No-shows auto-release after 15 minutes so held ports go back to work. Pilot: 6 sites across 3 agencies.
Pilot: 6 sites · 3 agenciesOpen the network
When a charger has no agency demand, it opens to the public at a set rate — turning idle infrastructure into revenue and supporting citywide EV adoption. Payment processing, OTI security review, and rate setting with OMB precede launch at a pilot subset.
Revenue-bearing · Pilot subsetCost allocation
Electricity is billed to the reserving agency through the existing interagency chargeback process. No new budget lines — usage follows the meter.
Maintenance
The owning agency maintains its own hardware, as today. DCAS Fleet coordinates service-level agreements so a shared network means shared standards.
Security & privacy
All public-facing components go through OTI security review before Phase 3. Agency operations data stays internal to the city.
