• The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program was authorized under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which was enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
• NEVI formula program questions and answers
• The $5 billion NEVI Formula Program will provide dedicated funding to states to strategically deploy electrical vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and create an interconnected network that supports data collection, access and reliability.
• Washington’s portion is $71 M total over five years.

Federal program goals

• Put the U.S. on the path to a network of 500,000 EV chargers.
• Accelerate the adoption of EVs.
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Help the U.S. lead global transportation electrification efforts.
• Build out alternative fuel corridors.

Plan-supported activities

• Zero-Emission Vehicles Mapping and Forecasting Tool (ZEV-MFT): WSDOT must develop a public mapping and forecasting tool that shows the locations of charging and refueling infrastructure.
