NCDOT Announces Release of NEVI Round 2 RFP GIS-based map of <br /> Proposed Charging Locations <br /> State officials have published a map online with the proposed locations for the second set of electric vehicle <br /> charging stations that will be funded through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program. <br /> The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has posted an updated GIS-based map with the <br /> proposed locations of the electric vehicle charging stations for Round 2 of the NEVI Program funding at <br /> NCDOT: National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. NCDOT has worked to optimize these lo- <br /> cations based on the 50-mile spacing requirement. <br /> NCDOT has released this map ahead of the Request for Proposal (RFP) to facilitate planning by applicants <br /> wishing to construct and operate EV charging stations using the NEVI funding. A Request for Proposal (RFP) <br /> and application process will be issued in 2025. <br /> Information about the map <br /> a. Each location on the GIS map is a "cluster" of one or more exits along the alternative fuel corridors <br /> (AFCs) that are within the bounds of meeting NEVI's 50-mile spacing requirement. <br /> b. Round 2 will provide funding for 41 charging stations. <br /> c. Five clusters are in Western North Carolina and will have additional time to submit applications (shown in <br /> red). <br /> d. There will be one charging station per cluster. <br /> e. Any proposed charging station must be sited within a designated cluster and within 1-mile of the exit. This <br /> distance has been calculated and provided in the GIS-based map. <br /> f. The GIS map has layers that can be turned on to show disadvantaged communities and 100-year flood <br /> plains (see top right corner of GIS website). <br /> In addition to the map, NCDOT has also included several items to facilitate planning including; <br /> • List of exits numbers and crossroads for each cluster, <br /> • NCDOT Utility Data Request Form —to assist with determining the availability of power at a given site, <br /> • U.S. Department of Energy - Alternative Fueling Station Locator that provides a map of other DC Fact <br /> Charge sites in the state, <br /> • NEVI Utility Finder — an Excel spreadsheet provided by the federal government that provides the electric <br /> utilities that serve a given zip code, and <br /> • Registration for upcoming events. <br /> See the RFP List of Resources for Applicants to access these resources and more at NCDOT: National Elec- <br /> tric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. <br />
