ADOT releases RFP for NEVI EV Charging Infrastructure Development
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) on October 17, 2025, seeking qualified developers to design, build, operate and maintain Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program.
The state has identified 34 locations around Arizona where EV charging stations that meet federal requirements can be installed. A detailed map of potential locations statewide is included in the RFP.
ADOT will procure services that include the design, construction, financing, testing, commissioning, provisioning, operation and maintenance of the EV charging stations, including all electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), located at each project site set forth in the RFP.
Prospective proposers are encouraged to subscribe to receive updates by email at azdot.gov/EVPlan or monitor azdot.gov/ev-infrastructure-implementation for ongoing updates.
ADOT will hold a virtual pre-proposal conference the week of November 17, 2025. Further details and meeting links will be posted at azdot.gov/ev-infrastructure-implementation.
Proposals are due on January 16, 2026, at 2:00 pm MST.
