National EV Charging Network

The US transportation sector is critical to the national economy and the daily lives of all Americans. Transportation is also the second highest expense for a typical US Household and significant source of emissions in the United States. Electrifying road transport can reduce the cost to operate and maintain vehicles for individuals and business while also reducing emissions and improving air quality. A national EV charging infrastructure network will support all Americans and provide additional choices for how people and goods can move across the country.

Highlights

Accelerating an electrified transportation system that is affordable, convenient, equitable, reliable, and safe.

We are working with states, communities, and the private sector to build a national, interoperable EV charging network. This means that the growing network of public chargers benefits from a shared set of agreed-upon reliability, accessibility, speed, and security standards. In other words, we’re aiming to make it easy to choose mobility options, whether you’re in an urban area or rural town. 

This effort includes: 

  • Providing technical assistance to states, communities, tribal governments, transit agencies, and school districts. 
  • Advancing standards and reliability on everything from charging software application program interfaces (APIs) to charger uptime. 
  • Creating tools based on proven data sets to help deploy EV charging infrastructure. 
  • Developing options and programs that support new private sector business models, community and urban charging, and electric utility infrastructure utility programs and policies. 

Quarterly Update: Public Charging Infrastructure

The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program provides funding to states to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and to establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability. The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation provides quarterly updates on this program including data on publicly available charging ports, State award, and deployment progress.
