EV Charging in Katonah, NY
ChargePoint Level 2 in Katonah’s historic village center — hamlet of the Town of Bedford. Charge at Tazza Café, explore the Katonah Museum of Art, and discover one of northern Westchester’s most charming hamlets.
Katonah is one of northern Westchester’s most beloved hamlets — a compact, walkable village within the Town of Bedford known for its independent bookshops, café culture, proximity to major cultural institutions, and a historic downtown that was literally relocated in 1897 to make room for the New Croton Reservoir. Today it’s also a stop on the county’s growing EV charging network, with ChargePoint Level 2 stations in and around the village center.
The signature charging spot is Tazza Café on Katonah Avenue — a cornerstone of village life — where ChargePoint Level 2 ports in the parking area let you top up your EV while enjoying some of the best coffee in northern Westchester. Additional ChargePoint stations serve the broader village area, making Katonah a practical EV stop for drivers on the Taconic State Parkway, I-684, or Metro-North’s Harlem Line.
All public EV charging in Katonah operates on the ChargePoint network. Download the ChargePoint app before your visit — it shows exact station locations, live port availability, and lets you start and pay for sessions entirely from your phone. PlugShare is also recommended for community-verified real-time status.

Katonah may be a small hamlet but it punches well above its size for cultural destinations. A 60–90 minute Level 2 session is enough time to explore several of these:
One of Westchester’s finest small museums — rotating exhibitions of contemporary and historical art in an elegant building off Jay Street. Admission is affordable and the shows are consistently excellent. Plan a 90-minute visit while your EV charges back in the village.
The country estate of John Jay — Founding Father, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and New York Governor. Stunning period rooms, beautiful grounds, and rotating historical exhibits. Open for tours weekends; check nysparks.com for current hours.
You’re already here — make the most of it. Tazza’s rotating single-origin espresso and seasonal menu earn it genuine devotion from northern Westchester regulars. Grab a coffee and pastry, settle in, and let the ChargePoint app ping you when the session’s done.
The Katonah Book Store — a beloved independent — anchors a village center full of interesting shops. Browse while charging. The village market, a wine shop, and several galleries fill the short stretch of Katonah Avenue within easy walking distance of the charger.
A spectacular 117-acre estate featuring formal gardens, historic buildings, and a world-class summer music festival. Caramoor hosts performances from June through August — an ideal evening EV destination where you charge in Katonah village before heading to a concert.
Westchester’s largest nature preserve, with 4,300 acres of hiking trails along the Connecticut border. Charge your EV in Katonah before heading to Pound Ridge for a half-day hike — you’ll return to a topped-up battery and a café visit to recover.
All Katonah stations are Level 2. For DC fast charging — 20–80% in 20 minutes or less — these are your closest options:
The Tazza Café ChargePoint station may have restricted access outside café hours — check the ChargePoint app for 24/7 availability status before making a dedicated charging stop. Weekday mornings and weekend brunch windows are the best times to combine charging with a café visit.
Katonah has fewer stations than larger Westchester hubs. Always check PlugShare or the ChargePoint app for real-time port availability before driving specifically to charge. If stations are occupied, Mount Kisco (5 mi, 25 ports) is your best immediate backup.
The Katonah Museum of Art is about 2 miles from the village charger. Drive to the museum, but charge your car at the Tazza / village station first — the ~90-minute museum visit gives you a solid charge before heading back to the highway.
Katonah village is accessible from I-684 Exit 6 (Katonah/Cross River). From the exit, the village center and Tazza Café are under 2 miles east on Route 35/Bedford Road. It’s a straightforward detour off the highway — ideal for road-trip charging breaks heading north.
If you’re heading north on I-684 toward Connecticut or upstate New York, a Katonah charging stop is smart planning. The next reliable fast charging is well into Connecticut or back south in Westchester. Use Katonah to arrive with margin rather than calculating minimum range.
During Caramoor’s summer festival (June–August), charge in Katonah village before heading to evening concerts at the estate — you’ll return to a topped-up car after the show. Pre-concert dinner at a Katonah restaurant while charging is the perfect evening formula.
