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

June 13, 2024

Summary

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.

Michigan released the selection results for Round 1 of its NEVI funding in April 2024; this round allocated roughly $22.7 million. Michigan plans to release a Request for Proposals for a second round of funding in August 2024, with roughly $27 million to be allocated. More details on Michigan's NEVI process can be found in the Michigan State Plan for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment.
