On February 10, 2022, President Biden, the US Department of Transportation, and the US Department of Energy jointly announced that nearly $5 billion will be provided to build the electric vehicle charging network.
This $5 billion investment will focus on building electric vehicle charging stations along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs).
For the past five years, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been soliciting nominations from state and local officials to designate alternative fuel corridors. Currently, the list includes 134 interstate highways, 125 US or state highways, covering roughly 165,722 miles of the National Highway System across 49 states and Washington, D.C.
The Biden administration has already provided $615 million in project funding to states in the 2022 fiscal year, but individual states must submit plans for deploying electric vehicle infrastructure to receive funding. Later this year, the US government plans to announce a second funding plan aimed at increasing electric vehicle charging stations in rural and some underserved communities.
