Modern buyers have a wide range of priorities when purchasing a property, but one of the most sought-after contemporary amenities is an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger. The number of Americans driving EVs increases each year, with fuel efficiency and sustainability being major benefits. Homes that accommodate EV ownership have become a necessity for many.
In New York City, developers are increasingly prioritizing adding EV charging stations to their residences to entice buyers. Several premier luxury developments and homes across the New York City area now feature charging stations and private EV parking. Below, we explore some of the most appealing options for buyers with electric vehicles.
