    Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the opening of three new federally-funded Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, bringing Pennsylvania’s total number of stations built using funds from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program to 11. Pennsylvania is tied for second in the nation in stations built using the federal funds. Since the first NEVI-funded station opened in the Commonwealth, the charging stations have delivered more than 13,000 charging sessions, powering over 1.5 million estimated miles driven and reducing CO2 emissions by more 700,000 pounds.

    “Governor Shapiro has set a clear directive to get things done for Pennsylvanians, and the PennDOT team is meeting that,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “We’ve been a national leader in the NEVI program, and we will continue to get stuff done for the people of Pennsylvania.”  

    The 11 stations opened under the NEVI program build on the Shapiro Administration’s effort to ensure the reliability and accessibility of EV charging and get things done for Pennsylvania travelers. The 11 stations represent a federal investment of more than $7.2 million in the state’s EV charger network. In total, PennDOT has obligated $70 million of the $171.5 million allotted by the NEVI program, of which at least 90 projects totaling roughly $59 million are under contract and expected to move forward.

    The new stations are at the following locations: 

    • Kwik Fill in Kylertown, Clearfield County along Interstate 80 (Exit 133),
    • Pilot Flying J Travel Center in Mill Hall, Clinton County along I-80 (Exit 173), 
    • and Love’s Travel Stop in Mifflinville, Columbia County along I-80 (Exit 242). 

    While charging, customers will have access to station amenities.

    NEVI funding supports the expansion of EV charging along the previously designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs) (see a map of AFCs here). Pennsylvania has over 1,800 miles of AFCs. Per guidance from U.S. DOT, NEVI formula funds must first be used to "build out" designated AFCs (meaning there must be no more than 50 miles between stations and less than 1 mile from an AFC exit) and meet U.S. DOT minimum standards and requirements.

    The PA NEVI program includes multiple rounds of funding. During Round 1, of which these stations were awarded, the focus was on building out the AFC network along the interstates to meet the NEVI requirements. PennDOT has since announced awards for Round 1A and Round 1B of NEVI funding which were designed to fill the remaining gaps along the AFC network. A list of all NEVI awards is available on PennDOT's website.

    National data on the status of the NEVI program by state is available at https://evstates.org/awards-dashboard/. 

    Pennsylvania can compete for billions of dollars in federal funds across a wide range of federal competitive grant programs through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). To help communities and organizations learn about these opportunities, PennDOT created a web page, www.penndot.pa.gov/IIJA, with details on federal grant opportunities to help municipalities, townships, and other community agencies with understanding the multiple transportation program grants that are available. The page includes Grant Alerts, guides and links to important resources for local municipalities and organizations interested in pursuing federal funding opportunities.
