Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation Seeks Partners to Expand EV Charging Infrastructure

The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to lease outdoor parking spaces at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the installation, maintenance and operation of electric vehicle charging stations for tenant and public use. The full RFP is available here.

BNYDC intends to lease up to 20 parking spaces for EV charging dedicated to Brooklyn Navy Yard tenants and an additional 10 spaces designated for public use. In leveraging city-owned land for EV charging infrastructure, BNYDC is reaffirming its commitment to renewable energy, encouraging EV adoption, meeting the rising demand for EV charging, and reinforcing its leadership in New York City’s Green Economy Action Plan.

As a gated campus with over 550 businesses and 13,000 workers, a diverse transportation network and a robust community of climate-focused tenants, the Brooklyn Navy Yard is uniquely positioned to implement EV charging infrastructure. Its ongoing commitment to sustainability through climate-driven manufacturing, education, research, commercialization and workforce development make it the perfect hub to advance the City’s green economy.

BNYDC seeks companies eager to partner in making New York City a global leader in climate adaptation and technology development. This effort builds on the thriving community of climate solutions companies and climate-conscious tenants already at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This RFP represents a step forward in supporting tenant businesses transition their vehicles to electric.

“The Brooklyn Navy Yard is committed to driving sustainable solutions that benefit our community and the city as a whole,” said Lindsay Greene, BNYDC President and CEO. “By introducing EV charging infrastructure on the Yard campus and on our perimeter for public access, we’re taking a critical step in advancing green transportation and supporting our small business tenants' and neighbors’ efforts to transition to cleaner, more efficient mobility options. This RFP reflects our dedication to innovation and sustainability as we build a greener future for New York City.”

Interested respondents are invited to submit their RFP no later than Tuesday, August 14, 2025. Respondents are required to submit an overview of its organization and proposed implementation to this RFP.
