Charging Ahead: The Federal Role In EV Infrastructure Buildout
This article is the first of a two-part series that will explore the role the federal government and state and local governments play in building out a national EV charging network.
These “key programs” are organized by administering agency. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) contains significant new funding for EV charging stations.
A variety of options for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure exist, thereby creating a multifaceted infrastructure procurement process. The site host's specific characteristics and goals, such as utilization and demographics, can also influence the process.
The law also makes the installation of EV charging infrastructure an eligible expense under the USDOT Surface Transportation Block Grant formula program.
For information on charging infrastructure requests for proposal (RFPs), see the U.S. Department of Energy's Guidance in Procurement of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment or Forth Mobility's EV Charging and Public/Private Partnerships RFP Template. Additionally, state agencies can register for the EV States Clearinghouse to view example RFPs.
