WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Sept.
27 that North Carolina’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan has
been approved. Under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula
Program, N.C. is set to receive $39.4 million over fiscal years 2022 and 2023.

“America led the original automotive revolution in the last century, and today,
thanks to the historic resources in the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law, we’re poised to lead in the 21st century with electric vehicles,” said U.S.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “We have approved plans for all 50
States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia to help ensure that Americans
in every part of the country – from the largest cities to the most rural
communities—can be positioned to unlock the savings and benefits of electric
vehicles.”

According to North Carolina’s plan, which can be read here, the goals of the
state will be broken down into two phases.

Phase one will focus on the development of NEVI-compliant charging stations
among the state’s Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs). Per the plan, AFCs across
the state will be required to have electric vehicle charging stations no more
than 50 miles apart. These stations will be required to be within one mile of
the corridor.



For southeastern North Carolina, I-40, I-74 and U.S. 17 have been listed as
AFCs. According to the plan, contracts are to be awarded in regards to phase one
in the spring of 2023.

The second phase of the plan, according to the release, will focus on
community-based charging needs. The state hopes that improvements in this sector
will improve public accessibility to charging stations and assist electric
vehicle-related jobs.

In total, North Carolina expects approximately $109 million will be needed over
the course of five years to complete this project. According to the USDOT
announcement, additional funding for projects will be available in the coming
years.

Deployment Plan, please review it here. The attached document also provides
information on future community engagement opportunities.
