On Friday at noon, Seward Park Cooperative will officially unveil its new electric car program, which includes the recent arrival of a Nissan LEAF all-electric car, and the installation of electric vehicle charging stations back in March.
The event takes place at 413 Grand Street at the co-op’s parking area along Clinton Street. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, Councilwoman Margaret Chin, Sen. Daniel Squadron and members of Community Board 3 are expected to be on hand to celebrate, as well as officials from ChargePoint America, which provides the infrastructure for the charging systems. The new car will join the fleet of Connect By Hertz, a program that houses on-demand short-term rental vehicles at various locations, including Seward Park’s garage.
