NEVI Status in the US

The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program is in its fourth year, with 15 states deploying 506 charging ports and over 2,800 additional ports conditionally awarded as of February 2025. These stations have supported thousands of electric vehicle (EV) charging sessions, but progress remains slow compared to initial targets. An estimated 1,000-1,500 stations (4,000-6,000 ports) are still needed to complete the Alternative Fuel Corridor network. NEVI contributed less than 1% of public chargers installed in 2024, highlighting its role as a catalyst rather than a standalone solution. A recent Trump administration memo paused new NEVI funding allocations, though existing state projects with finalized agreements continue unaffected. Several states are continuing their work to build out NEVI-funded EV chargers, but the move has undoubtedly led to market disruption and uncertainty. This premium article highlights the status of NEVI funding and charger rollout in the US as of February 2025.
