Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is assisting with investing a projected $100 million over the next five years to install public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Virginia through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program, which is funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (BIL). VDOT recently completed the Virginia Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan to begin the first phase of installation occurring along interstates designated “Alternative Fuel Corridors,” which includes I-81 and I-64.
Localities will be able to apply for EV charging and fueling infrastructure funding through a related discretionary BIL program in 2023. The CSPDC will share program information with our local planning partners once it is available.
