Wisconsin - 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.

Wisconsin announced awardees for the first round of funding for its NEVI program in May 2024. This round of funding allocated approximately $23.3 million to 53 locations across the state. Details on further rounds of funding are not currently available. More details on Wisconsin's NEVI process can be found in the Wisconsin Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan.
