Saturday, September 17th, 2022 -- 9:24 AM

The Federal Highway Administration has approved Wisconsin’s plan to expand its electric vehicle charging stations under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) initiative.

The approval means that the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) can now receive federal funding to implement the Wisconsin Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan.   Upgrading Wisconsin’s electric vehicle infrastructure is one of the most important steps forward we can take to move towards a cleaner, more sustainable future,” Gov. Tony Evers said. 

The WisDOT estimates receiving approximately $78.65 million over the next five years under the NEVI program. Today most electric vehicle charging is accomplished at home.   Wisconsin’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan envisions placement of approximately 60 charging station locations within 50 miles of each other on Wisconsin’s designated Alternative Fuel Corridors.
