"The $5 billion program was passed under the Biden administration as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It was designed to create a federally funded network of high-speed public fast chargers along America's major travel corridors, helping states lay the groundwork for broader EV adoption in the coming years. But after a slow and controversial start, the NEVI program finally appears to be gaining momentum."
"Nearly 100 new NEVI-funded charging stations came online in the U.S. last year, adding close to 500 new ports, according to a report released Wednesday by charging analytics firm Paren. That's more than double the number of stations and roughly three times the number of NEVI-funded ports added in 2024. NEVI is a signal to the broader market to continue building EV [charging] infrastructure, Paren CEO Florent Breton told me in an interview. It serves as a magnet for foreign players, such as Alpitronic, to come and be part of the industry in the U.S."
The U.S. public fast-charging network grew 30% last year, adding more than 18,000 new ports, driven largely by private investment. The NEVI program is a $5 billion initiative under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to build federally funded high-speed public chargers along major travel corridors to support broader EV adoption. NEVI experienced a slow, contentious start with federal freezes and lawsuits but has recently gained traction. Nearly 100 NEVI-funded stations and close to 500 ports came online last year, more than doubling stations and tripling ports versus 2024, and NEVI is attracting foreign and private industry participation.
