INDOT plans to add EV charging stations across state: The Indiana Department of Transportation is planning to add electric vehicle charging stations across the state. INDOT will present a series of statewide public information meetings this month about the state’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Deployment Plan (McAfee, News and Tribune). Scott Manning, deputy chief of staff at INDOT, said the plan is a federal requirement for Indiana’s involvement in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was established through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021. The NEVI program offers federal funding to install DC Fast Charge charging stations. Indiana is investing $100 million to add electric vehicle infrastructure, including stations along federally-identified alternative fuel corridors (AFCs).
