WYDOT's EV Stakeholder Networking Database is now live

Interested in hosting EV stations on your land? Or are you an EV company seeking willing landowners to place stations? Want to get partners secured before applying for NEVI funding?

WYDOT and consultant HDR have created a database for networking among different potential EV infrastructure partners. Click here to add yourself to the database.

This process is completely voluntary. Your responses to this questionnaire will create a NEVI Database intended for those interested in being part of EV charging station deployment teams. Responses will be publicly available and posted to the WYDOT NEVI website.

National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program

UPDATE: NEVI Program Changes

In August, the US Department of Transportation issued updated guidance for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program and related Federal EV Charging grant programs. The changes were significant enough that this webpage and associated webpages are currently out of date and are under construction. For updated NEVI information, call 307-777-4381

NEVI Background & Overview

EV logo_final.jpg

In November 2021, the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocated up to $7.5 billion over five years for states to enhance their Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure.

In Wyoming, the NEVI funding will help EV drivers to have regular access to charging stations to help avoid a situation where a driver could be stranded without services. Additionally, the infrastructure could bolster tourism as EVs become more popular nationwide.

There are two sources for funding: Federal Formula Funding through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program and Discretionary Grants.

NEVI Formula Funding quick facts

Wyoming was allocated $3.9 million in 2022 and expects $5 million each year for the following four years for a total of $26.8 million for EV infrastructure. WYDOT will not own, operate or maintain the charging infratructure through the NEVI program. Instead, this funding will be used to incentivize private industry or local goverments to build the alternative fuel corridors, which are the interstates in Wyoming (I-25, I-80 and I-90).

NEVI funding can reimburse infrastructure costs incurred by NEVI station owners, including:

Acquisition and installation of EV charging infrastructure and traffic control devices and signs
Operation and maintenance of EV charging infrastructure for up to five years
Data sharing about EV infrastructure to ensure long-term success of equipment installed under the formula program
Development activities related to acquisition or installation

NEVI formula funding rules and details

Federal rules specify requirements for minimum standards for federally funded EV infrastructure.

The standards outlined in the rules and regulations ensure that chargers operated by different networks will operate similarly and provide the traveling public with a predictable EV charging experience – no matter what car you drive or what state you charge in.

Requirements include each station featuring four Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) with capabilities for 150kW and higher charging capacity in each location.

Requirements NO LONGER include:

50 mile maximum distance between charging stations
Charging stations placed a maximum of 1 mile from alternative fuel corridor
