On March 21, Revel and the Port Authority opened a new EV charging station at JFK Airport, adding 24 fast chargers and more than doubling the airport’s charging capacity. With a total of 46 EV fast charging ports, the station significantly reduces wait times and improves traffic flow for for-hire vehicle drivers and travelers. The station is located within the airport’s for-hire vehicle hold lot, accessible via the Van Wyck Expressway or Belt Parkway.
“We are proud to support the expansion of EV infrastructure at JFK Airport, ensuring that for-hire vehicle drivers and travelers have access to fast, efficient charging whenever they need it,” said Monil Malhotra, president of Kempower North America.
