Pennsylvania funds 12 new EV charging stations to expand statewide network
Listen to this articleThe Pennsylvania Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced it is funding 12 new projects to construct electric vehicle (EV) charging stations along major roadways in Pennsylvania.
The new projects build on the $54 million already committed to public charging stations across the state through the NEVI program.
Pennsylvania has already constructed 30 charging stations. Additionally, there are 53 additional stations in various stages of planning and construction.
Awarded projects through the NEVI Corridor Connections program include:
- $779,558 to Sheetz in Landisville, Lancaster County, along Route 283 at Exit 26.
- $623,630 to Sheetz in Willow Street, Lancaster County, along Route 222 near mile marker 24.
- $789,028 to Wawa in Lancaster, Lancaster County, along Route 222 near mile marker 29.
“These projects will expand access to electric vehicle charging from our alternative fuel connections and bridge the gap between long-distance travel and community based chargers,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “This is a critical step to improving relatability and access to meet the needs of EV drivers in the Commonwealth.”
Since the first Pennsylvania NEVI station opened in December 2023, NEVI-funded charging stations in Pennsylvania have supported over 80,000 charging sessions, over 9.6 million estimated miles driven, and reduced CO2 emissions by more than 2,000 metric tons.
