Public comment welcome on proposals for Indiana NEVI-funded EV charging station deployment plan

Submitted by INDOT

Established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) formula program funding will provide $5 billion over five years for states to deploy electric vehicle (EV) chargers along highway corridors.

This build-out of EV chargers is critical to accelerating the adoption of EVs and enabling Americans to access the economic and air quality benefits of electrified transportation. Indiana is expected to receive nearly $100 million over the next five years to create an EV charging network across the state.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) EV Implementation Plan was approved in September 2022. Since then, INDOT has continued planning efforts to prepare for an upcoming request for proposal (RFP). The draft RFP is available now through June 17 for review and comment by the public and EV charging industry. Please click here to access the draft RFP, and email nevi@indot.in.gov to submit your comments.

Please reference INDOT’s approved implementation plan and the interactive map of candidate site locations for this infrastructure.
