Summary
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) formula program. This program directs funding to states for the strategic deployment of EV charging infrastructure, including the creation of an interconnected charging network across the United States. Funds for the PennDOT NEVI program are to be awarded on a competitive basis to plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain Charging Stations across Pennsylvania. The NEVI Community Charging Funding Opportunity Round 1 – Southeastern Region will result in the awarding of approximately $34 million of NEVI funds for Projects that deploy Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) within the following counties in southeastern Pennsylvania: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia.
