Q3 2024 NEVI Quarterly Update

Aug. 30, 2024

As we gear up for fall, we’re reflecting on all the hard work that went on this summer to progress the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program since the last quarterly progress update. There are now nearly 192,000 publicly available charging ports in the U.S., marking an increase of about 9,000 ports in the last three months, and an important milestone—we have doubled our national charging network since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration! As a reminder, you can always track charging network progress by checking out our interactive chart, showcasing EV charging infrastructure growth.

Congratulations to Utah and Rhode Island for contributing to this goal by opening their first NEVI-funded stations in the last three months. Ohio is continuing to lead the way with six stations open to the public and 12 locations under construction – open their GIS map to see for yourself.

Currently, there are 69 NEVI-funded public charging ports in operation across 17 stations in eight states, more than twice as many operational NEVI ports as last quarter. A total of 40 states have released at least their first round of solicitations. Of these states, 29 have issued conditional awards or put agreements in place for over 2,800 fast charging ports across more than 700 charging station locations.
