You may have heard about the federal government’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, funded in the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law at $1 billion a year for five years. Michigan was fortunate to receive $110 million of those funds.
On this week’s Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Steve Minton, an innovative contracts project manager at the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) who is overseeing the state’s NEVI program, outlines the process.
Some highlights and a timeline:
- $110 million total for Michigan from the NEVI program
- Updated total grant funding requested for 41 sites with utility costs will be about $25-27 million for Round 1
- Round 2 is in the initial steps of development with a request for proposals expected to be posted in June
- Round 2 will focus on completing the buildout of the alternate fuel corridors (AFCs) identified in the Fiscal Year 2023 Michigan State Plan for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment
- Round 2 will focus on 23 locations not covered in Round 1
- Round 2's funding allocation will be $15-18 million
- Round 3 and beyond will occur starting in 2025
