The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) wants your input on how to spend more than $170 million in federal funds from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program to install public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Pennsylvania. At least $14 million of this funding will be allocated to Philadelphia to subsidize the installation of public EV chargers.

Residents have an opportunity to learn more and provide feedback for this project as PennDOT is currently conducting a brief survey to help inform the program and identify location priorities.

PennDOT is first required to use the federal funds towards building a network of fast charging along major roadways, which is also reflected in the survey. You can check PennDOT’s progress to deploy this charging network on the PennDOT NEVI Active Projects Map.

This survey is the first opportunity to provide input on the NEVI Community Charging Phase funding opportunity. More public outreach is expected in Spring 2025.
