INDIANAPOLIS – The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has approved Indiana’s plan to use National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program funding to build a statewide electric vehicle charging network.
The approval clears the way for Indiana to work with private and public partners to invest nearly $100 million over the next five years to bolster the availability of fast, reliable EV charging infrastructure across the state.
In accordance with federal guidance, Indiana’s plan invests in EV charging infrastructure along the state’s FHWA-designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFC). The primary federal requirements are that each station must have at least four ports that can simultaneously charge at 150 kilowatts, be located along every 50 miles of the AFC, less than one mile from an exit or intersection, and be accessible to the public 24 hours a day.
Indiana will invest in at least 44 Level 3 DC-Fast Charge EV charging stations to fully build out the state’s AFCs. Once finished, every Hoosier will be within 40 miles of a NEVI-funded charging station.
