It pays to go green as the city announces a $10 million investment to encourage more of it on the road.
City Hall says it plans to ramp up the number of electric car charging ports around the five boroughs, with up to 20 chargers at each station.
The mayor's goal is for 20 percent of registered vehicles in the city to go electric by 2025.
The city is partnering with Con Edison to find at least one good charging site in every borough.
It's estimated these five hubs would be able to service more than 12,000 cars a week.
Con Ed is also partnering with the Transportation and Police departments on a pilot program to reserve street parking for electric cars.
The cars would also be able to charge up at these spots.
There are currently more than 300 charging sites around the city.
