The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration recently announced $635 million in grants to further develop electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative fueling infrastructure across the United States. The funding, sourced from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will support 49 projects spanning 27 states, four federally recognized Tribes, and the District of Columbia. Among these projects are initiatives to deploy over 11,500 EV charging ports and hydrogen and natural gas fueling infrastructure along key corridors and in communities. The grants include substantial funding for hydrogen refueling infrastructure, such as the Port Authority of Houston's project in Texas and the California Energy Commission's undertaking. The Houston project will establish a hydrogen fueling station for heavy-duty trucks, promoting transportation decarbonization and clean hydrogen strategies. Similarly, the California project involves installing public EV charging stations and a hydrogen refueling station to support zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty semi-trailer trucks. These investments align with the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy, emphasizing the development of hydrogen transportation fueling to bolster private sector efforts in deploying zero-emission vehicles. The Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Jeff Marootian, emphasized the collaboration across government entities to maximize federal investments and foster the growth of the 21st-century energy workforce. He highlighted that the new charging and refueling locations funded by these grants will enhance transportation accessibility, promote job creation, and encourage innovation in communities nationwide. Overall, the investments aim to advance transportation decarbonization efforts, create new job opportunities, and broaden the availability of clean transportation options.
