The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) is thrilled to announce the opening of the first electric vehicle (EV) charging station funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program in Vermont. The four ports on Main Street in downtown Bradford will complement two existing 50-kilowatt DC fast chargers and a single AC Level 2 charger installed at the site by Norwich Technologies under a grant agreement with the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development.

By building at a site with included infrastructure, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) was able to speed up the NEVI charger installation process, bringing drivers closer to the power they need to reach their destination. "This is just the beginning. Bradford is the first of 15 locations in this phase of NEVI funding that we’re working to have under contract by the end of the year,” said Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn.

The Joint Office is working with all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico to ensure the EV future of tomorrow is thoughtfully planned, efficiently built, and meets the needs of all Americans, regardless of where they live.
