NEVI Program Making Strides in Public EV Charging Infrastructure

Access to fast public electric vehicle charging is a key concern for car buyers considering the switch to an EV. The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program was established to address this issue, focusing on travel corridors. With over three years since its inception, many are curious about the progress of the NEVI Program.

Recent headlines have cast doubt on the program’s effectiveness, citing slow progress and high costs. Despite criticism, progress has indeed been made. Capacity building among charging stakeholders has been a priority before the installation of physical charging assets. The first NEVI-funded station opened in Ohio in December 2023, with many more states set to launch NEVI charging stations soon.

Strong Progress in Charging Infrastructure

Currently, 44 awarded sites with 183 fast charging ports are operational across 12 states, totaling over $25 million in investment. However, this is just the beginning, with 37 states issuing 889 awards amounting to around $500 million. While progress is evident, there is still a substantial amount of allocated funds yet to be utilized.

Challenges and Opportunities for Improvement

Despite progress, some states have been slow in soliciting project applications, delaying the rollout of charging stations. Delays in permitting processes and grid connections have been identified as challenges. States need to learn from successful implementations and streamline their processes to expedite the deployment of chargers.

Building Capacity for Successful EV Charging Projects

Aside from physical infrastructure, the NEVI Program is enhancing capacity among EV charging stakeholders. The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation plays a crucial role in providing guidance and resources to support states in program implementation. Building capacity at both federal and state levels is essential for the long-term success of EV charging initiatives.

Laying the Foundation for Private Investment

While improvements are needed, the progress made by the NEVI Program is significant. The program serves as a catalyst for private investment in charging infrastructure, signaling to the industry and enhancing the value proposition of EV charging stations. The first few years of the NEVI Program are just the beginning of a comprehensive charging network that will make EV adoption more appealing to all drivers.
