US Announces National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program

The US Departments of Transportation and Energy announced nearly $5 billion that will be made available under the new National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to build out a national electric vehicle charging network.

The program will provide nearly $5 billion over five years to help states create a network of EV charging stations along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors, particularly along the Interstate Highway System. The total amount available to states in Fiscal Year 2022 under the NEVI Formula Program is $615 million. States must submit an EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan before they can access these funds. A second, competitive grant program designed to further increase EV charging access in locations throughout the country, including in rural and underserved communities, will be announced later this year.

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. New York is expected to receive $25,971,644, New Jersey is expected to receive $15,448,790, and Connecticut is expected to receive $7,771,342.

Speaking of New York, Right before the end of 2021, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced  the final adoption of New York’s Advanced Clean Truck Rule which will phase in the sales and use of zero-emission trucks. The new Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule finalized by the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) requires manufacturers of vehicles greater than 8,500 pounds to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in New York State.  The regulation complements New York’s recently adopted legislation that established a goal for 100 percent of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles offered for sale or lease, or sold, or leased, for registration in the State be zero-emission by 2045, where feasible.
