National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program

Country / jurisdiction: United States · Year: 2022 · Status: In force · Level: National · Type: Voluntary

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) NEVI Formula Program provides funding to states to strategically deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and to establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability. Funding is available for up to 80% of eligible project costs, including:

-The acquisition, installation, and network connection of EV charging stations to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability;

-Proper operation and maintenance of EV charging stations; and,

-Long-term EV charging station data sharing.

EV charging stations must be non-proprietary, allow for open-access payment methods, be publicly available or available to authorized commercial motor vehicle operators from more than one company, and be located along designated FHWA Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs). If a state and DOT determine that all AFCs in the state have been fully developed, then the state can propose alternative public locations and roads for EV charging station installation.
