New York City Municipal Electric Vehicle Charging Sessions

PlugNYC charging session data includes location, duration, and energy provided metrics for public usage at municipal lots and garages. The dataset is published by the New York City Department of Transportation and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze peak charging times and session duration patterns using Connected Time, Date, and Charge Duration (min) columns.
• Model energy consumption per location using Energy Provided (kWh) and Location Name to identify high-usage stations.
• Identify session anomalies or invalid transactions by examining Session Status and Invalidity Reason fields.
• Track individual driver charging behavior over time using anonymized Driver ID and Connected Duration (min).
• Assess connector type utilization and performance across different Station Names using Connector ID and Charge Box ID.

Strengths

• Data includes 15 detailed columns per charging session, covering timing, location, and energy metrics.
• Published by a municipal government authority (NYC DOT), ensuring official provenance.

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical significance.
