Troy installed its first electric vehicle charging station this week.

The station is located in the 5th Avenue Parking Garage in downtown Troy and has two ports, allowing two vehicles to charge at the same time. It's among several stations installed in the Capital Region by the Capital District Transportation Committee's Clean Communities Coalition, with support from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

"With increased use of hybrid, electric and alternative fuel cell vehicles across the Capital Region, the City of Troy is investing in new technologies to help reduce carbon emissions and support a healthier environment," Troy Mayor Patrick Madden said in a statement.
