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.
Over the five years of the NEVI Formula Program, Pennsylvania is receiving $171.5 million in dedicated formula funding.
The initial focus of this funding is for the installation of Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) stations along each state’s designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs), to help build out the national EV AFC network.
Once a state’s AFC network receives “full built-out” certification from the Federal Highway Administration then that state may use NEVI formula program funds for EV charging infrastructure on any public road or other publicly accessible location. PennDOT received full build-out certification on September 22, 2025 and is now preparing to invest in more EV charging stations throughout Pennsylvania.

Community Charging Funding Rounds
The NEVI Community Charging funding round for the Southeastern Region opened on February 19, 2026, closed on August 25, 2026, and PennDOT announced awards on October 28, 2026. The funding round for the Western Region opened on June 12, 2026 and will close on November 20, 2026. The Central Region and Eastern Region funding rounds opened on September 8, 2026 and September 17, 2026, respectively, and both will close on March 12, 2027. Please see the PennDOT NEVI Community Charging Funding Rounds webpage for more information, including a timeline of the funding rounds, proposal instructions, and a survey to express interest. Please contact PennDOT at ra-pdevcorridors@pa.gov with any questions.
Active PennDOT NEVI Projects
PennDOT completed three NEVI funding rounds over the course of 2023 and 2024 focused on identifying charging station projects to fill gaps along Pennsylvania’s Alternative Fuels Corridors. PennDOT completed the Corridor Connections funding round in early 2026. PennDOT then announced awards from the Community Charging Round 1 – Southeastern Region funding round in late 2026. A total of 159 active NEVI projects in 46 counties are now in varying stages of implementation, and include a total federal investment of $95.8 million. Pennsylvania has the most operational NEVI-funded charging stations of any state, with more than 50 operational stations.
