Electric vehicle infrastructure
National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program in Minnesota
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program provides funds to states to build a convenient, affordable, reliable, and equitable fast charging network for EVs across the United States. Program funds must first be used to install direct current fast chargers (DCFC) along any alternative fuel corridors (AFCs) for EV charging that had been designated by the states. After states complete the AFC build-out, they can use the remaining funds on other roadways within the state.
NEVI funding round 3 request for information
We held a request for information from March 3 – April 30, 2026. to gather insights, ideas, and capabilities from qualified vendors and stakeholders with an interest in supporting the installation and operation of DC fast charging stations along long-distance travel corridors. To learn more about was included in that RFI see the 2026 section at the bottom of this page.
We’ll now be developing the round 3a request for proposals (RFP). We anticipate that RFP will open in late August. It will be posted on this webpage.
