Delaware is touting its new electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure investments, with two stations expected to come online by the end of 2025 and 10 more sites “currently being finalized,” according to a news release from Governor John Carney (D). The facility developers are receiving funding through the state from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula (NEVI) Program. “Transportation emissions account for the largest emissions of greenhouse gases in Delaware,” Carney stated, crediting the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” with contributing significant resources to help the state advance its carbon reduction strategy. Delaware’s General Assembly has budgeted $4 million to supplement what the NEVI program funds allocated to the state.
Virginia DOT has awarded $22 million in its second round of NEVI disbursements, News From The States reports. The money will flow to 19 different applicants for construction of 35 EV charging stations. Virginia was awarded a total of $106 million to distribute over five years. The first charging station funded by VDOT’s initial release of NEVI funds is expected to be online by the end of this year.
