National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program

The NEVI Formula Program is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), specifically the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), aimed at establishing a comprehensive network of EV charging stations across the United States. The program allocates $5 billion in funding over five years to assist states in deploying EV charging infrastructure, particularly along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors.

Funding allocation

  • States receive annual allocations based on a formula that considers factors such as population, road miles, and EV adoption rates.
  • States must submit plans for deploying EV charging infrastructure to receive funding.

Eligible projects

  • Projects must focus on installing EV charging stations along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors.
  • After these corridors are sufficiently equipped, funding can be used for EV charging infrastructure on any public road or publicly accessible location.

Types of chargers

  • The program prioritizes the deployment of Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) to enable quick charging and long-distance travel.
  • Level 2 chargers may also be supported, especially in areas where DCFCs are not feasible.

Project requirements

  • Charging stations must be publicly accessible and available 24/7.
  • Stations should support multiple charging standards and feature 450 kW ports compatible with a wide range of EVs.
  • Projects must include data collection and reporting to ensure network reliability and accessibility.
