Dozens of states from coast to coast will have early access to their share of $900 million in electric vehicle infrastructure funds thanks to the U.S. Department of Energy’s early approval of plans to locate chargers on more than 53,000 highway miles throughout the country.
DOT announced its early approval Sept. 14 of 35 EV infrastructure deployment plans from states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for fiscal 2022 to 2023 funding under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, which makes $5 billion available for a five-year period.
