Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

The transportation sector is responsible for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.; more than half of these emissions are from passenger cars and light-duty trucks traveling on our nation’s highways. Electric Vehicles (EVs), which produce zero tailpipe emissions, are an essential part of the solution.

The IIJA includes a transformative investment in EV charging stations that will put the U.S. on a path to a nationwide network of 500,000 EV chargers by 2030, ensuring a convenient, affordable, reliable, and equitable charging experience for all users. Several funding and finance programs were introduced to plan for and build EV chargers; support workforce training for new technologies; and integrate EVs as part of strategies to address commuter, freight, and public transportation needs.

National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program

The $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program provides dedicated funding to states to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability. Initially, funding under this program is directed to designated Alternative Fuel Corridors for electric vehicles to build out this national network, particularly along the Interstate Highway System. When the national network is fully built out, funding may be used on any public road or in other publicly accessible locations.

Charging Hub | Orlando Utilities Commission

CHA is providing electrical, structural, and site/civil engineering design. The hub will be the second-largest Electric Vehicle (EV) hub in Florida, with 20+ power electronic chargers and high-capacity type chargers.

Battery Energy Storage System | Con Edison

CHA is collaborating with Con Edison and their selected system vendors to convert an empty lot into a make-ready site for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS).

Applegreen | New York State

CHA is providing program management services to Applegreen EV as they develop electric vehicle charging stations at 27 service areas along the New York State Thruway.
