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.

The Minnesota Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan will identify investments in fast charging along the state’s existing Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs) — I-94 and I-35. We are also creating a draft statewide EV fast charging network as part of this process. Which interstates or trunk highways should we consider for investment from the NEVI program?

I'd like to see charging stations at public parks & libraries. Also, pls. consider other main Highways (ex. Hwy 210, 33, & 53 & US Hwy 2).

Albert Lea Location
Choose the option in the middle by Hwy 46 - everyone I know traveling south toward St. Louis stops at the restaurant located there anyway so that would be a good place to spend some time.

300kw DC fast charge only, no 150kW
All new chargers should all be rated for at least 300kW. average consumers do not know if their car can handle 150kw vs 300kW and will always go for the bigger number by default. This usually leads to a someone having to wait for the 300kW charger or spending a longer time at the 150kW charger needlessly. For major corridors 150kW chargers will be obsolete very quickly. Tesla Superchargers (for reference) can usually charge at a rate up to 250kW.

Why not 494/694
Seems like 494/694 areas would be a good location to charging networks. Didn't see anything except on 94 between MSP/STP and then again at Maple Grove and Woodbury. Why not where 35E/35W intersecting with 494/694?
