Indiana - National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Grant Program

Indiana's Charging the Crossroads program, funded by federal NEVI grants, is building public DC fast charging stations along major highways and interstates to support EV travel. As a driver, you'll benefit from a growing network of reliable chargers at strategic locations, though the program focuses on corridor infrastructure rather than residential incentives.

This program funds direct current fast charging equipment installation along Indiana's Alternative Fuel Corridors through federal NEVI grants covering up to 80% of project costs, with recipients responsible for the remaining match. Contractors should review INDOT's EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan and the EV Partner Directory to identify project opportunities and understand current deployment phases, especially following the August 2025 federal guidance updates that streamlined requirements.

NEVI is a $5 billion federal program allocating shares to states; Indiana received funding to deploy DC fast chargers along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors on interstates and highways. The program requires a non-federal match (minimum 20%) and initially targeted 50-mile spacing near AFC exits, though August 2025 federal guidance gave states flexibility to streamline placement requirements. Indiana awarded 39 sites in the first round (Winter 2024) and has resumed contracting for contingent awards under the revised framework.
