EV Charging in The Hudson Valley

New York City’s weekend valley: Dia Beacon and the river towns, the Walkway Over the Hudson, the Shawangunk cliffs above New Paltz, the CIA at Hyde Park, and one of the oldest wine trails in the country threaded between farm stands.

It is dense, short-hop touring — fifteen minutes between stops — which suits EVs perfectly. The river towns carry plentiful Level 2, the Thruway and Taconic carry the fast charging, and a B&B with a plug turns the whole weekend into one charge.

When to go: October is the superlative — foliage, cider, and full inns from Cold Spring to Hudson. Summer Fridays northbound are their own charging rush hour at the Thruway plazas.

Why people come here

  • The Walkway Over the Hudson: a rail bridge turned mile-long pedestrian span above the river
  • The Shawangunk cliffs at New Paltz — East Coast climbing’s home turf
  • The Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, plus one of the country’s oldest wine trails
