NCDOT requesting businesses apply for funds to install electric vehicle charging stations
RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — Businesses can now apply for federal funds to build and operate the first in a series of electric vehicle charging stations along North Carolina’s interstates and major highways.
The N.C. Department of Transportation issued a request for proposals Monday for firms interested in applying for the first round of North Carolina’s share of National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program funds.
“This is an important step to advance the clean energy economy and meet the demands that come with these once-in-lifetime changes we’re seeing across transportation,” Governor Roy Cooper said. “Getting charging infrastructure built throughout North Carolina will create good-paying jobs, help reduce harmful emissions and help North Carolinians take full advantage of the transition to clean transportation.”
Businesses have until June 10th to apply for North Carolina’s $109 million share of the NEVI program funds for the first batch of EV charging stations included in the first phase of the project.
