On Thursday, Ohio became the first state in the U.S. to announce charging stations as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program.
Gov. Mike DeWine revealed the 27 locations of new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations that will be installed along Ohio interstates. DriveOhio, a division of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), will oversee the implementation of the new charging stations, which are expected to be in operation next year.
The state is awarding over $18 million in NEVI funds for the stations, which will be situated along seven of Ohio's interstate corridors, including I-70, I-71, I-74, I-75, I-76, I-77, and I-90. The NEVI funds will be matched with nearly $6 million from the private entities selected to install and operate the new EV fast charging stations, including Pilot Travel Centers, TH Midwest, Francis Energy, Meijer Stores, EVgo Services, ChargeNet Stations, and Equilon/Shell.
