WASHINGTON, D.C. —The U.S. Departments of Transportation and Energy today announced nearly $5 billion that will be made available under the new National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program established by President Biden''s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to build out a national electric vehicle charging network, an important step towards making electric vehicle (EV) charging accessible to all Americans.
"We are modernizing America''s national highway system for drivers in cities large and small, towns and rural communities, to take advantage of the benefits of driving electric," saidU.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. "The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping states to make electric vehicle charging more accessible by building the necessary infrastructure for drivers across America to save money and go the distance, from coast-to-coast."
"A century ago, America ushered in the modern automotive era; now America must lead the electric vehicle revolution," saidU.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "The President''s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will help us win the EV race by working with states, labor, and the private sector to deploy a historic nationwide charging network that will make EV charging accessible for more Americans."
Today''s news follows President Biden''s announcement earlier this week on EV manufacturing, and theWhite House Fact Sheeton actions taken to date to prepare for this historic EV investment.
To access these new Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds – and to help ensure a convenient, reliable, affordable, and equitable charging experience for all users – each state is required to submit an EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan to the new Joint Office of Energy and Transportation that describes how the state intends to use its share of NEVI Formula Program funds consistent with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance.
These plans are expected to build onAlternative Fuel Corridorsthat nearly every state has designated over the past six years of this program. These corridors will be the spine of the new national EV charging network. The Joint Office will play a key role in the implementation of the NEVI Formula Program by providing direct technical assistance and support to help states develop their plans before they are reviewed and approved by the Federal Highway Administration, which administers the funding.
"Americans need to know that they can purchase an electric vehicle and find convenient charging stations when they are using Interstates and other major highways," Deputy Federal Highway Administrator Stephanie Pollack said. "The new EV formula program will provide states with the resources they need to provide their residents with reliable access to an EV charging station as they travel."
The new Joint Office of Energy and Transportation also launched a new website this week atDriveElectric.gov. There, officials can find links to technical assistance, data and tools for states, and careers. To join the Joint Office and support a future where everyone can ride and drive electric, individuals are encouraged toapplyto be an EV charging fellow.
As part of today''s announcement, FHWA released the NEVI Formula Program funding to states that will be available following approval of state plans forFiscal Year 2022in addition to theProgram Guidanceand aRequest for Nominationsfor states to expand their existing Alternative Fuel Corridors. Here isstate-by-state NEVI funding for Fiscal Years 2022-2026.
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing new steps to meet President Biden''s goal to build out the first-ever national network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers along America''s highways and in communities, a key piece of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Department of Energy, is proposing new standards to make charging electric vehicles (EVs) a convenient, reliable, and affordable for all Americans, including when driving long distances. Without strong standards, chargers would be less reliable, may not work for all cars, or lack common payment methods. The new standards will ensure everyone can use the network –no matter what car you drive or which state you charge in.
Thanks to President Biden''s bold vision, leadership, and actions EV sales have doubled since he took office, and there are now more than two million EVs and 100,000 chargers on the road. The Biden Administration has positioned the United States to lead the electric future and make it in America:
These federal charging programs were designed to catalyze additional private sector investments that complement the build-out of a user-friendly, cost-saving, and financially sustainable national EV charging network. Together, President Biden''s leadership is mobilizing public and private charging investment to accelerate the adoption of EVs and create good-paying jobs across manufacturing, installation, and operation. These chargers will also make sure the new renewable electricity sources like solar and wind can power the cars we drive and reduce energy costs for families.
Today, as part of an Administration-wide strategy, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing a fleet of actions from nine federal agencies across the charging ecosystem to complement the NEVI program – creating good-paying jobs in the U.S., reducing emissions, and putting us on a path to net-zero emissions by 2050.
We''ll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better.
The Administration''s approach to public investment in EV charging provides a case study for how Bidenomics is delivering for Americans by making smart public investments that attract private sector investment, supporting fair competition, and encouraging a domestic industry thatsupports good, union jobs.
