The New York State Department of Transportation will receive approximately $175 million through NEVI over five years. The NEVI program requires funds to be invested within one travel mile of designated EV corridors, with charging stations no more than 50 miles apart. New York State’s designated corridors include many of the State’s most-traveled interstate and state highways.

To receive the NEVI funds, the New York State Department of Transportation must submit a State EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan (Plan) to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by August 1, 2022. The Plan will contain information on the State’s existing charging infrastructure, goals for the investments, how the State plans to use the funding, and how the State will monitor and evaluate the program. Public input is an important part of Plan development. FHWA will review and approve these plans by September 30, 2022.  States will be eligible to start spending the funds once their plans are approved.
