On May 23, the Department of Transportation announced it will open a new funding opportunity to help repair existing electric vehicle chargers under the Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator Grant Program.

Only the 174 locations on the final list established by the Federal Highway Administration are eligible for funding.

In accordance with FHWA requirements, funding may only be used to bring charging stations up to FHWA standards, including the requirements to operate a minimum of 4 charging ports and maintain a greater than 97% uptime.

Full program details and instructions for completing a Proposal can be found on the PennDOT EVC-RAA webpage.
