On Thursday, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announce it had received $20 million in federal funding for building out the electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
The money, part of the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) funding, will build out 29 projects in 19 counties across the state, officials said. The projects were selected to fill in gaps on the Alternative Fuel Corridors following NEVI Round 1. The $20 million investment is part of the $171.5 million PennDOT will receive for EV charging infrastructure over the next five years.
