Ohio - National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Grant Program

Note: The Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) created the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Grant Program with a total budget of $5 billion. Each state was allocated a share of that total to help build out a national network of electric vehicle charging stations along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs). With some limited exceptions, EV charging stations funded through the NEVI program should be spaced 50 miles apart and within one mile of the Interstate exit or highway. Ohio has conducted two rounds of NEVI funding so far, with awards for the first round, for 23 locations, being announced in July 2023; the second round awards, for 26 locations, were planned to be announced in May 2024 but are not yet available on the program website. A Request for Proposals for a third round of funding, for 15 locations, is expected in late Summer 2024. More details on Ohio's NEVI process can be found in the Ohio Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan .
