Nyserda downstate nevi: NY 27 (4 sites) freeport, hampton bays, jamaica, massapequa park

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT) received a Formula Grant award of $5,473,372 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective August 6, 2025. This grant funds the NYSERDA Downstate National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) initiative, which expands electric vehicle charging station availability across New York State with emphasis on major travel corridors. The project encompasses four charging station sites in downstate New York: Freeport (operated by Applegreen), Hampton Bays (Francis Energy), Jamaica (Revel), and Massapequa Park (EVgo). The funding structure utilizes 100% federal resources supplemented by 20% toll credits.

The core objective of this project is to develop critical EV charging infrastructure while engaging private sector partners to increase private investment and cost-sharing in the charging network buildout. By leveraging partnerships with multiple private operators and utilizing toll credits as matching funds, the initiative aims to accelerate the deployment of publicly accessible charging stations that support regional transportation corridors and advance the state's electric vehicle adoption goals.
