$623M Awarded to Build EV Charging Stations – See How Much Your State Gets

The Federal Highway Administration has actually authorized $623 million in grants to assist construct a across the country charging network for electrical lorries, with jobs in 22 states getting the funds.

The grants belong to the $1.2 trillion federal facilities law and approach President Joe Biden’s objective of setting up 500,000 battery chargers by 2030.

The competitive Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grants being revealed will money 47 EV charging and hydrogen-fueling facilities tasks in 22 states and Puerto Rico, consisting of building and construction of 7,500 EV charging ports.

(For a state-by-state breakdown of where the grants will go, see completion of this post.)

“The CFI program matches the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) formula program to develop the ‘foundation’ of high-speed EV battery chargers along our country’s highways,” the FHWA states. “Thanks to the NEVI program, brand-new charging stations in Ohio and New York have actually opened, and states like Pennsylvania and Maine have actually begun.”

More than 70% of the CFI grants will go to task websites in disadvantaged neighborhoods, the firm states.

The tasks moneyed by the grants consist of those for EV charging and hydrogen fueling in metropolitan and rural neighborhoods, in addition to those along busier roadways designated as Alternative Fuel Corridors, which become part of the core nationwide charging and alternative-fuel network. To receive the CFI grants, the battery chargers need to stick to Made in America guidelines, and their setup and upkeep need to follow “strong labor force requirements,” according to the FHWA.

Highlighted Projects

The FHWA highlighted a range of tasks being moneyed with the grants:

$70 million to the North Central Texas Council of Governments to develop to 5 hydrogen fueling stations for medium- and sturdy freight trucks in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. The job will assist produce a hydrogen passage from southern California to Texas.
$15 million to the Maryland Clean Energy Center to develop 87 electrical automobile charging stations in metropolitan, rural and low- and moderate-income neighborhoods throughout the state.
$15 million to the County of Contra Costa in California to develop an overall of 52 quick battery chargers and 60 Level 2 battery chargers at 15 branch places of the county’s library system.
$15 million to Energy Northwest, a joint operating firm in Washington State, to set up 40 quick battery chargers and 12 Level 2 battery chargers throughout western Washington State and northern Oregon. The task will offer EV access to mostly rural and disadvantaged neighborhoods, consisting of on Indigenous Tribal lands.
$12 million to the City of Mesa, Arizona, to develop 48 electrical car battery chargers for a range of car sizes, charging docks for e-bikes and e-scooters, and solar canopies to support electrical energy generation at the stations.
$10 million to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to construct EV charging stations for citizens in multi-family real estate in disadvantaged neighborhoods and backwoods.
$1.4 million to the Chilkoot Indian Association, an Alaska Native Tribe, to develop an EV charging station in Haines, a rural and disadvantaged neighborhood where there are no openly offered EV charging stations.
