Update: October 2024

The Iowa Department of Transportation has awarded over $16.2 million to install 28 new electric vehicle (EV) direct-current, fast-charging (DCFC) stations along Iowa’s interstates.

Funding for the EV chargers comes from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program that provides dedicated funding to construct EV charging infrastructure and supports the acquisition, installation, operation, and maintenance of EV charging infrastructure sites. Over a five-year period, Iowa will receive over $51 million in federal funds which will be distributed through competitive application programs.

A Notice of Funding Opportunity was published in December 2023 for the first application cycle seeking to deploy EV charging infrastructure along Iowa’s designated alternative fuel corridors: I-29, I-35, I-80, and I-380. Applications from 80 private entities were received for the program in March. The over $16.2 million in NEVI funding will be matched with more than $5.6 million in private funding. The selected sites are no more than one mile from the interstate and will include a minimum of four charging ports providing continuous charging of at least 150 kilowatts of power per port concurrently.
