The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has unveiled grants worth $635 million to enhance electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative fueling infrastructure nationwide. These funds, sourced from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will support 49 projects spanning 27 states, four federally recognized tribes, and the District of Columbia. The projects include over 11,500 EV charging ports, hydrogen, and natural gas fueling infrastructure, strategically positioned along corridors and in various communities. This initiative, a part of the zero-emission refueling infrastructure programs, aligns with the Biden Administration's focus on bolstering the EV transition and promoting American-made solutions. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized the significance of these investments in expanding the EV charging network, aiming to make charging as convenient as refueling at gas stations. A significant portion of the grants, $368 million, will be allocated for community projects, while $268 million will fuel corridor fast-charging initiatives to bolster the national charging network. Additionally, the commitment to disadvantaged communities through the Justice40 Initiative showcases a targeted approach to equitable infrastructure development, creating jobs, cutting transportation expenses, and mitigating healthcare costs associated with air pollution. By emphasizing the expansion of hydrogen transportation fueling infrastructure, the grants also support the growth of America’s hydrogen economy, meeting the rising demand for zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. This comprehensive effort not only drives sustainability but also ensures inclusive access to crucial EV charging resources.
