HARRISBURG, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced it is funding 12 new projects to construct electric vehicle (EV) charging stations along major roadways in Pennsylvania.
The funding announcement builds on the $54 million already committed to public charging stations across the Commonwealth through the NEVI program, demonstrating Pennsylvania’s continued success as a national leader in installing EV chargers to better connect our communities. Pennsylvania has already constructed 30 charging stations, leading the nation in stations built using NEVI funds. Additionally, there are 53 additional stations in various stages of planning and construction.
Since the first Pennsylvania NEVI station opened in December 2023, NEVI-funded charging stations in Pennsylvania have supported over 80,000 charging sessions, over 9.6 million estimated miles driven, and reduced CO2 emissions by more than 2,000 metric tons.
“These projects will expand access to electric vehicle charging from our alternative fuel connections and bridge the gap between long-distance travel and community based chargers,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “This is a critical step to improving relatability and access to meet the needs of EV drivers in the Commonwealth.”

To help demystify EVs and provide clear, fact-based information, PennDOT has launched a video series, EVs In Focus. The first video provides insight on EV battery fires, the data, and the safety systems in place to alleviate the risk of fire. Another video explores whether the electric grid can handle the increasing numbers of electric vehicles. A third video explores the real-world environmental impact of driving an EV, from vehicle production through disposal and end of use. More videos are in development on other EV topics.
Additional NEVI Community Charging Funding applications are now open for the southeastern region. Applications will open on a rolling basis for other regions in Pennsylvania, beginning with the western region in the coming weeks. Local transportation planning agencies determine the specific locations/areas within the region that are prioritized for investment, but all publicly available locations within the region are eligible to apply.
While Community Charging funds are available, PennDOT has opened a survey for interested organizations to connect with electric vehicle charging station builders and operators to partner on submissions. To take the survey, or for more information on the Community Charging funding, please visit www.pa.gov/evcommunity.
The U.S. Department of Transportation is currently withholding Congressionally-apportioned funding that would have supported EV charging construction in Pennsylvania and created new, good-paying jobs. That is why Governor Josh Shapiro sued the Trump Administration once again for breaking the law and taking dollars out of the Commonwealth. The Governor also sued the Trump Administration alongside 15 other states over the summer and won, reinstating the NEVI program and ensuring projects like the one being announced today continue throughout Pennsylvania.
