ChargePoint Charging Station

The Port Authority Bus Terminal keeps turning over a new leaf. ChargePoint Charging Station anchors one corner of it, giving electric-vehicle drivers a solid place to top up before or after a cross-country ride. Parking on site is tight, but the terminal’s own ramp and a few nearby garages cover most scenarios. It helps to treat this stop as part of a larger equation—grab coffee on the lower level, check departures, then plug in while you wait.

The address never changes: 625 8th Ave, New York, NY 10018. You’ll find the chargers on the D-wing side of the terminal, tucked between rows of tour buses and commuter coaches. Plug-in speed varies by stall; most drivers aim for the fastest available, then stretch their legs at one of the upstairs food courts. Port Authority itself hums 24/7, so the chargers stay available even when the sidewalks outside quiet down. Storms or special events rarely move the power pedestals—capacity is built for the ebb and flow.

Use the station the same way you’d use any utility—scan a QR code, start a session, and step away. Payment goes through the ChargePoint app or the in-locker display, and kilowatt-hours rack up only while the cable is locked. Idle fees can sneak up if you forget to log out, so set a reminder before you wander too far. Nearby TSA checkpoints shuffle passengers at a steady clip; the chargers sit just far enough to avoid the worst of the congestion.

Reaching the spot calls for a two-minute walk from any gate above 40th Street. Shift directions to the D-wing ramps, then follow the blue ChargePoint signage down to ground level.
