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

Each state was allocated a share of that total to help build out a national network of electric vehicle charging stations along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs). With some limited exceptions, EV charging stations funded through the NEVI program should be spaced 50 miles apart and within one mile of the Interstate exit or highway.The Utah Department of Transportation’s (UDOT) NEVI plan includes achieving build out status along the state's AFCs including I-15, I-70, I-80, I-84, I-215, and portions of US-6 and US-191.The state also plans to identify and begin building high-priority corridors that provide access to Utah’s five National Parks, forty-two State Parks, and other places of interest. Utah plans to use a blend of contracting approaches to complete the projects. An updated plan was published in August 2023. Much of the plan remains the same with most of the updates being in response to the newly issued NEVI Standards and Requirements 23 CFR 680. In December 2023, UDOT published a list of recipients who have received conditional awards for the RFA -Phase 1.
