News
The Federal Highway Administration is currently reviewing National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) guidance; therefore, the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs has paused the NEVI Program as of January 28, 2025. In addition, for applications for funding that were originally due on March 17, 2025, ADECA closed the application window until further notice. Please check back here for future updates.
State Plan Approval Suspension
Overview
Alabama is projected to receive $79,308,285 through the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) formula program over the next five years. This program involves up to 80% federal funding and at least 20% non-federal matching on each project, with the non-federal funds expected to come from grant applicants. ADECA is administering these funds through a competitive grant program.
As background, Alabama submitted its “FY2025 NEVI Plan” to the Federal Joint Office of Energy and Transportation on August 30, 2024 and the plan was approved on November 25, 2024.

It is important to the state to receive input from interested parties. Anyone interested in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, sharing information, or commenting on the development of the plan is encouraged to submit comments to ev@adeca.alabama.gov. Comments submitted will be evaluated and considered during future updates to the plan.

Other Alabama EV Infrastructure Funding Programs
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Planning Grant Program at ADECA
Alabama also has a state-funded program which provides opportunities for charging infrastructure grants in areas of the state and for types of chargers that are not eligible under the federal NEVI program.
Ongoing priorities for this state program will include fast-charging projects along non-interstate corridors and Level 2 charging projects at locations where people have longer dwell times, including workplaces, tourist attractions, shopping centers, and near multi-family dwellings.
