The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is funding 12 new projects to construct electric vehicle (EV) charging stations along major roadways in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania has already constructed 30 charging stations, leading the nation in stations built using NEVI funds. Additionally, there are 53 additional stations in various stages of planning and construction.

Since the first Pennsylvania NEVI station opened in December 2023, NEVI-funded charging stations in Pennsylvania have supported over 80,000 charging sessions, over 9.6 million estimated miles driven, and reduced CO2 emissions by more than 2,000 metric tons.

“These projects will expand access to electric vehicle charging from our alternative fuel connections and bridge the gap between long-distance travel and community based chargers,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “This is a critical step to improving relatability and access to meet the needs of EV drivers in the Commonwealth.”
