California's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Funding Program Map

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Energy Commission (CEC) are partnering to implement the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program, which allocates $5 billion to the states to create a nationwide, interconnected network of DC fast chargers along the National Highway Systems. California's share will be $384 million over 5 years. This map was developed to help prospective applicants and interested parties identify eligible areas for infrastructure deployment.InstructionsViewers can display corridor groups, corridor segments, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, Justice40 disadvantaged communities, Tribal lands, California-designated low-income or disadvantaged communities, metropolitan planning organizations, regional transportation planning agencies, California state legislative districts, counties, Caltrans districts, utility districts, and congressional districts in this interactive map. The map initially displays corridor groups and their corridor segments included in the Round 2 NEVI solicitation. Viewers can toggle individual layers on and off using the map layers menu located to the right of the map. Some layers are organized into groups; viewers can toggle all layers within a group or select specific ones. The legend to the left of the map will show the layers that have been turned on. There is a search tool to the right of the map that enables viewers to type in an address and locate the address on the map. A basemap selector allows viewers to view road detail. Additional information on the map can be found under the information icon. Viewers can download the map files by clicking on the Data and Supplemental Links icon. Map layers include:A Corridor groups layer that shows designated corridor groups for California's NEVI funding program. Users can click on a corridor segment to view the start and end of each segment within a corridor group. When selected, a pop-up window will appear that identifies the corridor group number, corridor segment, corridor name, minimum number of charging stations required, minimum number of ports required, and needed locations, if applicable, for the corridor segment.   Corridor group labels for enhanced accessibility. Note that labels are only visible at certain ranges (zoom in and out to view labels). A NEVI 2 corridors layer shows corridor groups eligible for Round 2 of California's NEVI funding program. NEVI 2 corridor group labels for enhanced accessibility. Note that labels are only visible at certain ranges (zoom in and out to view labels). NEVI 2 corridor segment labels for enhanced accessibility. Note that labels are only visible at certain ranges (zoom in and out to view labels). A Round 1 solicitation corridor groups layer that shows corridor groups eligible for Round 1 of California's NEVI funding program.  A layer showing California and Justice40 disadvantaged or low-income communities.  A layer showing California-designated disadvantaged or low-income communities.  A layer showing Justice40-designated disadvantaged communities.  A layer showing California Federally Recognized Tribal Lands.  A layer showing Metropolitan Planning Organizations.  A layer showing Regional Transportation Planning Agencies.  A layer showing California State Senate Districts.  A layer showing California State Assembly Districts.  A layer showing California Counties.  EV charging stations layers (existing DC fast charging stations that are located within one mile of a NEVI-eligible corridor offramp). One layer shows locations of EV charging stations with DC fast charging capabilities that meet the NEVI power level and four-port minimum requirement and could likely become part of the NEVI network if these stations became compliant with other NEVI program requirements such as data reporting. The other layer shows DC fast charging stations that do not meet NEVI power-level or port count requirements but could be upgraded to be NEVI-compliant. Users can click on EV charging stations and a pop-up window will appear with more information on the station (i.e., station address, total port count, minimum NEVI standard, etc.). These data were last updated in March 2024. Please refer to the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center and PlugShare for up-to-date existing and planned DC fast charger site information.  A layer showing Caltrans Districts.  A layer showing Electric Utilities (IOUs and POUs). A layer showing California Congressional Districts. BackgroundThe $5 billion NEVI Program is part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) signed into law by President Biden in November 2021. IIJA commits significant federal funding to clean transportation and energy programs throughout the U.S. to reduce climate changing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrans is the designated lead agency for NEVI. The CEC is their designated state energy partner. Caltrans and the CEC have partnered to create California's Deployment Plan for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program that describes how the state plans to allocate its $384 million share of federal NEVI funds to build out a network of modern, high-powered DC fast chargers along federally designated Alternative Fuel Corridors throughout California. California's latest NEVI Deployment Plan was submitted to the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation on August 1, 2023 and approved on September 29, 2023. The Plans must be updated each year over 5 years.NEVI funds must be used initially on federally-designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (shown on the map).Each NEVI-funded DC fast charge station will have a minimum of four 150 kW Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors. Stations will be located no more than 50 miles apart along freeways and highways and no more than 1 mile from a freeway exit or highway roadway. States are required to emphasize equity, with at least 40 percent of NEVI benefits going to disadvantaged, low income, rural and Tribal communities.Data SourcesData are from the Federal Highway Administration's Alternative Fuel Corridors website, the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center Station Data for Alternative Fuel Corridors (as of September 2022), Argonne National Laboratory's Electric Vehicle Charging Justice40 Map, and the California Air Resources Board's Map of California Climate Investments Priority Populations 2022 CES 4.0.  ContactPlease submit questions and comments to mediaoffice@energy.ca.gov
