NEVI Formula Program
- The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program was authorized under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which was enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
- The $5 billion NEVI Formula Program will provide dedicated funding to states to strategically deploy electrical vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and create an interconnected network that supports data collection, access and reliability.
- Washington’s portion is $71 M total over five years, including $10.5 million for the first year.
Federal program goals
- Put the U.S. on the path to a network of 500,000 EV chargers.
- Accelerate the adoption of EVs.
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Help the U.S. lead global transportation electrification efforts.
- Build out alternative fuel corridors.
Federal requirements for state plans
- Minimum of four 150kW combo charging system direct current fast chargers per site.
- Site power capability no less than 600 kW.
- 50 miles between sites along designated alternative fuel corridors within one mile of the highway.
Plan-supported activities
This plan supports a number of activities, including:
- UW Sustainability Project.
- Zero-Emission Vehicles Mapping and Forecasting Tool (ZEV-MFT): WSDOT must develop a public mapping and forecasting tool that shows the locations of charging and refueling infrastructure.
