The guidance was issued as an \u201cInterim Final Rule,\u201d meaning that it took effect immediately without the required public notice and input. The Department Of Transportation is accepting comments on the interim final rule through August 27, 2025. The guidance instructs states to submit plans that encompass all unobligated funds.<\/p>\n<p>The new guidance repeals nearly all state EV Infrastructure Deployment plan requirements that were designed to ensure NEVI funds are spent rigorously and consistently with congressional intent. However, nothing in the new guidance prevents the development of more robust state plans, in fact the guidance specifically mentions that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhwa.dot.gov\/environment\/nevi\/resources\/NEVI-Interim-Final-Program-Guidance-8-11-2025.pdf\">states may re-submit their previously approved plans for consideration<\/a>. Since the guidance only defines a \u201cfloor\u201d for what grantees must include in their plans, states can and should continue to deploy their previously conceived plans.<\/p>\n<p>Now more than ever, states are leading the charge in the development of a nationwide charging network. In order to continue the rapid build-out and expansion of that network, NEVI program grantees must continue to deliver the higher standards laid out in earlier guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the following provisions in their state plans are important to support rigorous infrastructure build out:<\/p>\n<p><strong>States should continue with the 50-mile maximum spacing requirement laid out in earlier guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier issued NEVI guidance had several requirements directly related to optimizing current and future EV drivers\u2019 experience. One such requirement was that NEVI charging stations could be at most 50 miles apart. This maximum regular interval for charging stations ensures that states provide consistent coverage along <a href=\"https:\/\/afdc.energy.gov\/laws\/11675\">Alternate Fuel Corridors<\/a>, providing EV drivers a predictable and convenient charging experience even across state lines. The omission of this requirement in the new guidance is particularly harmful because previous guidance already provided flexibility for states to seek specific exemptions from the 50-mile requirement. EDF encourages states to continue to adhere to it to reduce drivers\u2019 range anxiety and encourage efficient charger utilization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>States should keep connecting with communities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DOT\u2019s bare bones guidance removes several important directives related to community engagement. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhwa.dot.gov\/environment\/alternative_fuel_corridors\/nominations\/90d_nevi_formula_program_guidance.pdf\">In the June 2023 guidance<\/a>, states were tasked with considering \u201cthe need for publicly available EV charging infrastructure in rural corridors and underserved or disadvantage communities.\u201d Furthermore, through the complementary Justice40 Initiative, states were encouraged to prioritize a certain percentage of benefits in disadvantaged communities.<\/p>\n<p>The new provisional guidance still requires NEVI to complete a\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-23\/chapter-I\/subchapter-G\/part-680\/section-680.112#p-680.112(d)\">report on community engagement activities<\/a>, but the recommendations don\u2019t offer a road map for how to do this effectively. NEVI grantees should continue to prioritize engaging communities who have been overlooked or deprived of a safe and healthy environment in the past, particularly rural and Tribal communities. EDF would also recommend that states prioritize\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.naruc.org\/pub\/A1C0B23B-1866-DAAC-99FB-114B0C92BAAA\">meaningful engagement of residents<\/a>\u202fin the energy decisions that impact them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>States should seek to achieve multiple transportation electrification goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier NEVI guidance focused the program\u2019s funds on the build-out of a national vehicle charger network primarily for light-duty vehicles. States have flexibility to build out chargers to support the deployment of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles as well, and they should explore how NEVI funds can also be utilized to facilitate the electrification of <a href=\"https:\/\/globalcleanair.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/95\/files\/ACT-EV-Scenario-3-pager-Dec-2023.pdf\">the vehicles most detrimental to public health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>States should continue to think holistically when deploying NEVI stations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to build a functional and thriving national charging network, it\u2019s vital for states to consider broader infrastructure implications and gaps. Unfortunately, the latest NEVI guidance removes requirements to address \u201cconsumer protections, emergency evacuation plans, environmental siting, resilience and terrain considerations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>States cannot afford to gloss over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/climate-change-and-extreme-weather\">impact of increasingly prevalent extreme weather events in infrastructure planning<\/a>. Rather, states should continue to consider their unique geographies, climate, residents and infrastructure needs in their NEVI plans.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, states should continue to pursue co-locating distributed energy resources and other clean energy technologies, such as managed charging, which benefits the grid and consumer affordability.<\/p>\n<p>By holding themselves to higher standards, prioritizing equitable access and planning for resilience, states can ensure that NEVI funding achieves its original vision. If we stay the course, the NEVI program can deliver the lasting benefits that drivers, businesses and communities across the country are counting on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; After being illegally withheld, the NEVI program is again moving forward but DOT\u2019s inadequate provisional guidance will not support effective and successful charger deployment.
