National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program - Electric Vehicle Infrastructure - MnDOT Electric vehicle infrastructure National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program in Minnesota The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program provides funds to states to build a convenient, affordable, reliable, and equitable fast charging network for EVs across the United States.
Program funds must first be used to install direct current fast chargers (DCFC) along any alternative fuel corridors (AFCs) for EV charging that had been designated by the states. After states complete the AFC build-out, they can use the remaining funds on other roadways within the state. NEVI funding round 3a request for proposals MnDOT has opened the round 3a request for proposals for the NEVI program.
This phase of NEVI funds will continue our work to support long-distance travel around the state. There are 74 eligible clusters where stations can be proposed and a total of $41. 18 million in obligated funds available.

We have issued two rounds of Request for Proposals (RFPs) to fund EV charging infrastructure along the state’s three AFCs: I-94, I-90 and I-35. Twenty-four locations are in the process of pre-construction, construction and operations.
We completed an EV Infrastructure Needs Assessment (EVINA) report and the Long-Distance Charging Analysis Dashboard to provide information on EV adoption, EV charging infrastructure needs and potential locations for building charging along long-distance travel corridors. We submitted a NEVI plan update to FHWA that provides a high-level timeline and actions for MnDOT to take to make use of approximately $41.
8 million in FY 2023-2025 NEVI formula funds. We submitted a request to FHWA to certify the Minnesota Alternative Fuel Corridors as fully built out for EV charging. Minnesota FHWA Division approved MnDOT’s request for fully built out certification of our Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs) for EV charging.
This approval allows MnDOT to move forward with using NEVI funds on other roadways. We issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights, ideas, and capabilities from qualified vendors and stakeholders with an interest in supporting the installation and operation of DC fast charging stations along long-distance travel corridors.
The RFI was not a solicitation for bids or proposals, but rather an opportunity: Understand the current market landscape and available solutions Identify potential partners and innovative approaches Inform the development of future Request for Proposals or procurement strategies Clarify technical, operational or financial considerations relevant to our goals We took the feedback from the RFI and what we've learned from the first two rounds of grants to update the Request for Proposal process.
We held informational meetings and webinars to share our plans for the next RFP. We worked with grantees from rounds 1 and 2 to move projects through construction to operations

House leadership canceled the September 21 and September 28 session weeks on September 3, leaving four legislative days before members leave until after the November 3 midterms. Three separate deadlines — the continuing resolution, the surface transportation extension, and the statutory freeze on OMB's grant-rule rewrite — now expire on the same day, with a lame-duck Congress and a handful of weeks to resolve them. Here is what that means for anyone holding or chasing a federal award.
