Biden Administration Approves EV Charging Infrastructure Deployment

The Biden Administration just announced the approval of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plans for all 50 states, plus D.C. and Puerto Rico. The EV charging infrastructure announcement arrives ahead of schedule under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, as funded by the recent Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
All U.S. states now have access to FY22 and FY23 NEVI Formula funding, with over $1.5 billion available to build new EV chargers and related EV charging infrastructure to cover roughly 75,000 highway miles across the U.S.
Looking ahead, NEVI Formula funding will make $5 billion available over the course of the next five years. NEVI Formula funding is available for upgrades made to existing EV charging infrastructure, as well as the creation of new EV chargers, plus operational and maintenance costs related to EV chargers, the installation of electrical service equipment, community and stakeholder engagement, workforce development, signage, data sharing, and related mapping analysis and activities.
“Every single state, D.C. and Puerto Rico are working to leverage the investments from the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to expand domestic electric vehicle charging across America,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “President Biden is leading the shift to electrify transportation – ensuring drivers can commute and charge confidently and affordably, and lessening our oversized reliance on fossil fuels while combatting climate change.”
President Biden previously established a national goal for half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 to be zero-emissions vehicles, with an overall aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 52 percent in the same time period, as compared to emissions levels measured in 2005.
Meanwhile, GM has announced that will launch 30 new all-electric models globally by the 2025 calendar year. A recent study conducted by J.D. Power found that the existing EV infrastructure is lacking, with a drop in overall customer satisfaction with regard to public Level 2 charging stations between 2021 and 2022.

How much of this is going to his brother and Hunter?
Is this another 10% for the “BIG GUY” * they have to pay his cable bill?
Proof!
Laptop and Tony Bobulinski, the partner who will explain the “Big Guy” if needed.
Yet another empty promise by the clowns in the white house. While the rest of us suffer from the price of food and gas. before long it will be heating our home.
put the money towards building POWER PLANTS to produce the electricity FIRST
My state says their goal is to have a charging station within 40 miles of each citizen. That means if you are at the 40 mile mark you will use 80 miles of your 360 range (20% in warm weather to charge). No telling how long you will have to wait or pay. I understand that many people will charge at home if they can make the investment.
Carl:
Haha- pretty easy goal…. That is like saying in 1920 “There will be a gasoline station within 40 miles of every citizen”.
90% (if a previous article here is to be believed) leave with a ‘full tank’ every morning since they charge at home anyway.
As far as “Making an Investment” – most people can get along with the included Charging Cord with the car, and the very common 110 volt receptacle in the garage, car port, or for rented flats with neither, an extension cord and towel to keep out the bugs out of the second floor bathroom window.
But GM will with each purchase of a plug in vehicle give either $1,000 (Chevys) or $1,500 (Cadillac LYRIQ) toward installation of a heavy duty receptacle for overnight recharging from empty to full every day… $1,000 or $1,500 will cover almost anything but the most difficult installations…
Other than the very cheapest BOLT EV – cars such as the slightly more expensive BOLT EUV and the Caddy LYRIQ also include a heavy duty charging cord for the free receptacle just installed. But the ultra cheap plain Bolt EV still gets a 1500 watt plug-in cord for the regular receptacles – and if they can’t use the electrician offer, they’ll get either a $500 EVGO fast charging credit card, or else (with the caddy) 24 months of absolutely free EVGO fast charging…..
What’s not to like?
Nothing else to buy.
Does that include fire insurance?
jGinLA: Thank you for one of the more intelligent comments here… And I’m serious.
Your comment doesn’t really apply to new GM products, but intelligence is relative – especially here!
I have a 2019 Bolt EV and love for driving to work and around town or local area then charging at home. I will never plan a trip that relies on a public charger! Reason? 1. You gotta have an account with the company that operates the charger. You can’t just walk up with any old credit card or debit card and pump electrons in your car like oh…. 99% of every gasoline pump in the country. 2. They don’t always work even when you do have an account, 2 times personal experience with 2 different companies, where I had to actually call the company and tell them to turn the dang thing on. 3. How many power substations are we gonna need to handle a 300-500Kw an hour draw every 40 miles? Based on a charging station with 6 pumps it might even be in the 1 megawatt range. Assuming the power is available how are you going to get it there without massive new transmission towers and substations?
Dck-Bckt:
I agree with your points 1 and 2 – except that my experience is usually WORSE than yours…
Point 3 is rather being addressed by on-site stationary batteries – but the point here is for the GENERAL PUBLIC:
DO NOT ALLOW your woke governments to force electric utility companies to give ridiculous discounts to FAST CHARGER INSTALLATIONS…..
People who Fast Charge need to pay the full rate of the added infrastructure they require – including the real time price of electricity at the time of day they are using it…. That is why some fast charger installations HAVE batteries to reduce their DEMAND costs…
Although I drive 3 plug-ins, I fully realize it would be unfair TO OTHER RATE PAYING CUSTOMERS for electric vehicles to have a particular BONANZA regarding refueling costs.
Slow or medium speed charging at home off-peak is very beneficial to the ‘grid’… Too many ‘fast chargers’ are not necessarily, but COULD BE detremental IF such customers are not paying the full cost of what it takes to supply them.
There won’t be any problems in general since electric car adoption in non-woke-states will proceed as it has been – quite slowly…. Different kettle of fish if woke governments try to ridiculously force things before their time.
