These sites total US$75m in proposed grant funding and represent nearly 600 fast charging ports across 20 US states that have announced NEVI awards to date.
ChargePoint says the awards show its continued leadership in enabling DC fast charging at NEVI program-funded locations.
It adds that two newly-opened ChargePoint sites along Interstate 95 in Rhode Island make it the first state in the nation to complete Phase 1 of the NEVI program.
NEVI is the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s (IIJA)s US$5bn EV infrastructure bill, designed to make ultra-fast charging accessible and reliable across US highways.
ChargePoint says it continues to be an EV charging industry leader in receipt of NEVI awards, with 40% of US states announcing their awards to date.
“ChargePoint and its partners continue to lead the industry by enabling the most NEVI-funded fast charging locations along major US highways,” said Anne Smart, VP, public policy at ChargePoint. “Together with our partners, we are enabling accessible, reliable fast charging solutions across the US, ensuring all EV drivers can access charging when and where they need it.”
"The completion of NEVI Phase 1 marks a milestone moment in Rhode Island's commitment to a greener and more sustainable future," said Governor Dan McKee. "By creating the infrastructure for cleaner transportation alternatives, we're not only working towards our Act on Climate goals but leading the charge to decrease our carbon footprint. I'm grateful to the private and public partners who came together on this project that demonstrates our state’s continued commitment to enhancing our state’s EV charging infrastructure and the green economy."
All of the NEVI sites awarded to ChargePoint customers or partners feature ChargePoint Express Plus charging stations, a modular DC fast charging platform capable of delivering charge speeds up to 500kWh.
