Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, the NEVI Formula Program made $5 billion available for the deployment of publicly accessible EV chargers nationwide. ADOT was required to adhere to strict federal guidance to qualify for the NEVI funding and plan for the upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP).  Preliminary steps included development of an Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan in 2022, and an update in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The state has identified 49 locations where EV charging stations that meet federal requirements can be installed. A detailed map is included in the Request for Proposals.  

More about the program can be found at https://azdot.gov/planning/transportation-studies/arizona-electric-vehicle-program.  

Proposals due date: January 15, 2027, at 2:00PM MST.
