The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI Program), one of the key programs included in the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, set aside $5 billion dollars in Federal funding administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to assist in the nationwide development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Final NEVI Formula Program guidance was issued on June 11, 2024 during the later months of the Biden Administration. However, on February 6, 2025 following the inauguration of President Trump, the FHWA issued a letter that froze the obligation of NEVI Program funds nationwide, and noted that the new leadership of the Department of Transportation was undertaking a review of the policies underlying the implementation of the NEVI Program, and rescinded all prior versions of the NEVI Formula Program Guidance (including the June 11, 2024 Final Guidance).[1]

On June 14, 2024, the Nebraska Department of Transportation (“NDOT”) informed potential applicants that, pursuant to its National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (“NEVI”) plan, applications for federal funding to build electric vehicle (“EV”) charging stations across Nebraska’s Interstate 80 will be available as early as August 2024. Nebraska is currently one of only 15 states yet to make this funding available to applicants.
