Time to Take Charge in the Buffalo area
We’re committed to making electric vehicle charging more convenient and accessible in the communities we serve. Every day we're adding more charging ports to places you frequent most – grocery stores and retail establishments, public spaces, healthcare facilities and businesses of all sizes. In upstate New York we have partnered with businesses, cities, and towns to install hundreds of ports to date with plans to install an additional 16,000 ports by 2025.
In the greater Buffalo area, there are charging stations available to the public – some offering free charging! Here are a few local stations owned by National Grid to visit today.
Tops Markets
5274 Main St, Williamsville, New York (Map)
This complimentary charging station allows you to charge your vehicle in only 90 minutes while you get your grocery shopping done and enjoy a cup of coffee in the carry-out café or perhaps enjoy some retail therapy in the quaint shops in the Village of Williamsville. As Tops continues to look for ways to achieve its carbon reduction goals and help safeguard the environment, they host three EV stations across their footprint and is looking for opportunities to add additional EV charging stations to its parking lots. By reducing fuel emissions, Tops is contributing to better air quality, positively impacting the communities they serve.
Be sure to follow Tops Markets for updates on EV charging and more.
