Formula Funding details
WYDOT will not own, operate or maintain the charging infratructure through the NEVI program. Instead, this funding will be used to incentivize private industry to build the alternative fuel corridors, which are the interstates in Wyoming.
Federal rules (see link above) specify requirements for minimum standards for federally funded EV infrastructure.
These standards ensure that chargers operated by different networks will operate similarly and provide the traveling public with a predictable EV charging experience – no matter what car you drive or what state you charge in. These standards also require that chargers have consistent plug types and charging speeds, common payment systems, and accessible pricing information, locations, and availability.
Requirements also include:
- 50 mile minimum distance between charging stations
- Charging stations placed a minimum of 1 mile from alternative fuel corridor
- Charger strength, including requirements for four Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) and 150kW and higher charging capacity in each location
