The Federal Highway Administration awarded the California Department of Transportation $2,286,061 on January 14, 2026, under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program (Assistance Listing 20.277) to install and operate direct current fast chargers serving medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in designated alternative fuel corridors across California. The award is structured as a formula grant with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2035. Performance occurs throughout California, with charger deployment concentrated in specified regions near corridors identified in the NEVI Round 5 solicitation and the state's approved Freight and Transit Improvement Program (FTIP) listing. The NEVI Formula Program allocates funding to states to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability as part of a national effort to build a convenient, affordable, reliable, and equitable electric vehicle charging network along highways and within communities.
