This could come as a shock.

While New York state’s future promises to be filled with electric vehicles, finding a battery-charging station could be a challenge.

In a new survey by consulting firm West Monroe Partners, 57% of New Yorkers are forecast to buy an electric vehicle (EV) within the next 24 months.

The same survey found that 45% of Connecticut respondents planned to snap up an EV within the next two years, and that 49% of participants in New Jersey would do so.

“The orders for our electric vehicles are coming in from excited consumers to our offices at several locations in New York City — and it’s all good,” one worker at a Tesla sales office in Manhattan, who declined to be named, told The Post.

But consumer excitement might go flat because New York City ranks at the bottom among cities offering charging stations.

Even as the city has vowed to build more such installations, today it only has 43 charging stations for every million residents. That compares with a concentration of 310 per million in Seattle; 203 in Los Angeles; 199 in DC; and 80 in Chicago, according to HERE’s Urban Mobility Index.

“EVs are the classic example of overestimating change one year from now but underestimating it a decade in the future,” said Riley Adams, a senior financial analyst for Google in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Fueled by tax credits and incentive programs, better models and the lure of ditching the internal combustion engine for a clean energy alternative, EV sales are now fully charged statewide. All told, 36,853 electric models were sold in New York State in 2018, a 63% increase in a single year. About 9,000 EVs are registered in New York City.

New York State has pledged through sales and tax incentives, as well as infrastructure spending, to propel the number of electric vehicles on the road to some 850,000 by 2025 and then 2 million by 2030.
