Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan
Part of the bipartisan infrastructure law created the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. That program provides funds for states to install fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs).
New federal program
In Minnesota, we expect to invest about $68 million from this program over five years, along with a 20% non-federal match. To be eligible for the federal program, Minnesota needs to submit a Statewide Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan by Aug. 1, 2022.
Our state's plan
Our plan will identify investments in fast charging along Minnesota’s existing Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs) — I-94 and I-35.
At first, we'll focus on light-duty EV charging needs. In 2023, we'll update the plan to address medium- and heavy-duty EVs.
