Ohio Getting 22 New EV Charging Stations With 2021 Federal Infrastructure Cash

Ohio plans to spend $16 million to install 22 additonal electric vehicle charging stations around the state, according to a Thursday press release from Gov. Mike DeWine.

Each of these chargers will be less than a mile from a freeway and will include four charging ports with at least 150 kilowatts of power available per port, according to the release.

The new charging stations are the second round of chargers announced by the state as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (NEVI), a federal program included in the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that provides states with funding for electric vehicle infrastructure.

Ohio’s $16 million investment will be matched with $4 million in private dollars from the companies selected to install and operate the charging stations, according to the press release.

Ohio’s goal is to have fast electric vehicle chargers every 50 miles throughout the state, according to the release.
