The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Energy Commission (CEC) are partnering to implement the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program, which allocates $5 billion to the states to create a nationwide, interconnected network of DC fast chargers along the National Highway Systems. California's share will be $384 million over 5 years. This map was developed to help prospective applicants and interested parties identify eligible areas for infrastructure deployment.
Instructions
Viewers can display Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs), NEVI 3 (GFO-25-602) Needed Locations, NEVI 2 (GFO-24-606) corridor groups and corridor segments, NEVI 1 (GFO-23-601) corridor groups, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, Tribal lands, California-designated low-income or disadvantaged communities, metropolitan planning organizations, regional transportation planning agencies, California state legislative districts, counties, Caltrans districts, utility districts, and congressional districts in this interactive map. The map initially displays the AFCs and the Needed Locations eligible for California's Round 3 NEVI solicitation. Viewers can toggle individual layers on and off using the map layers menu located to the right of the map. Some layers are organized into groups; viewers can toggle all layers within a group or select specific ones. The legend to the left of the map will show the layers that have been turned on. There is a search tool to the right of the map that enables viewers to type in an address and locate the address on the map. A basemap selector allows viewers to view road detail. Additional information on the map can be found under the information icon. Viewers can download the map files by clicking on the Data and Supplemental Links icon.
Map layers include:
A layer showing California Congressional Districts.
Background
The $5 billion NEVI Program is part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) signed into law by President Biden in November 2021. IIJA commits significant federal funding to clean transportation and energy programs throughout the U.S. to reduce climate changing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrans is the designated lead agency for NEVI. The CEC is their designated state energy partner. Caltrans and the CEC have partnered to create California's Deployment Plan for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program that describes how the state plans to allocate its $384 million share of federal NEVI funds to build out a network of modern, high-powered DC fast chargers along federally designated Alternative Fuel Corridors throughout California. California's latest NEVI Deployment Plan was submitted to the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation on August 1, 2023 and approved on September 29, 2023. The Plans must be updated each year over 5 years.
NEVI funds must be used initially on federally-designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (shown on the map).
Each NEVI-funded DC fast charge station will have a minimum of four 150 kW Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors. Stations will be located no more than 50 miles apart along freeways and highways and no more than 1 mile from a freeway exit or highway roadway. States are required to emphasize equity, with at least 40 percent of NEVI benefits going to disadvantaged, low income, rural and Tribal communities.
