PennDOT is investing NEVI funds to expand the EV charging network through three focus areas—Corridor Connections, Community Charging, and Critical Investments. PennDOT’s vision is to strategically deploy charging stations to support the development of convenient, accessible, reliable, and equitable EV charging across the Commonwealth. The Corridor Connections Funding Opportunity is for the Corridor Connections focus area, with subsequent funding opportunities and additional resources for the other two focus areas to follow later in accordance with the 2025 PA NEVI Plan.
The Corridor Connections Funding Opportunity focuses on deploying Charging Stations along roadways in Pennsylvania to support long-distance travel. These locations are also expected to serve the communities and regions near the charging station locations.
PennDOT released the Corridor Connections Funding Opportunity on October 7, 2025. PennDOT will host a webinar on October 16, 2025 from 1:00-2:00pm EST to summarize the funding opportunity and answer questions. Click here to register for the webinar. Any technical questions must be submitted to PennDOT no later than November 10, 2025. The eGrants online proposal platform will begin accepting proposals on December 22, 2025, and close on January 30, 2026 at precisely 5:00 PM EST.
