National electric vehicle infrastructure deployment program (NEVI)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $4,440,832.50 Formula Grant to the District of Columbia's Public Works Department under the Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program. The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program grant will fund the deployment of an interconnected network of publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, particularly along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors and the interstate highway system. This grant aims to establish a reliable national EV charging infrastructure to facilitate data collection and access. The funding will support the District of Columbia's efforts to build out EV charging capabilities and advance sustainable transportation solutions within its jurisdiction.

Project description

The national electric vehicle infrastructure (NEVI) formula program provides dedicated funding for the deployment of EV charging infrastructure. This funding will establish a publicly accessible interconnected network of EV charging stations to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability. Funding under this program is initially directed to designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCS) for electric vehicles to build out this national network, particularly the interstate highway system.
