WYDOT's EV Stakeholder Networking Database
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 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
NEVI Background & Overview
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.

WYDOT's 2025 NEVI Plan is approved; FHWA grants full build-out status
The Federal Highway Administration recently announced approval of the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s newest National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure plan, certifying that the Alternative Fuel Corridors in Wyoming are fully built out and NEVI funding can be spent on non-interstate highways.
With the private sector taking the lead, Wyoming is the third state to achieve full build-out status, a monumental achievement considering no NEVI-funded chargers have been installed in the state thus far.
You can read the FHWA's approval letter here and full build-out approval letter here.

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 charging stations.
In 2025, WYDOT received full build-out status from the Federal Highway Administration. This means the state's Alternative Fuel Corridors -- Interstates 25, 80 and 90 -- have enough charging stations to satisfy the federal government, and the NEVI funding can be spent on other highways.
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.
In August 2025, the US Department of Transportation issued updated guidance for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program and related Federal EV Charging grant programs. Click here to read the updated rules and regulations for the NEVI program.
Check the Federal Register for the latest update on the Build America Buy America waiver.
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.
NEVI guidance requires each station on an Alternative Fuel Corridor to include four Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) with capabilities for 150kW and higher charging capacity in each location. With WYDOT receiving full build-out status, this requirement is more relaxed. More information about Wyoming-specific requirements will be announced.
Requirements NO LONGER include:
- 50 mile maximum distance between charging stations
- Charging stations placed a maximum of 1 mile from alternative fuel corridor
Existing stations on AFCs
WYDOT included this map in its 2025 NEVI plan to show the AFCs have enough charging stations to support full build-out status. This map is current as of September 2025.
Archived NEVI plans and guidance
The NEVI program rules and guidance, along with WYDOT's annual NEVI plans, have changed significantly over the years. To avoid confusion, only current guidance and plans are posted here.
