Gov. Josh Shapiro and his administration recently announced a new $20 million investment for electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Pennsylvania, writes Mac Bell for ABC27 News.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), the $20 million investment is part of round 1A of the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) funding.

This round of funding is going towards a total of 29 projects across 19 Pennsylvania counties, including Philadelphia.

In connection, the Philadelphia Parking Authority is getting $815,120 for a charging station in Philadelphia.

“Every federal dollar directed toward EV charging is one step closer to a vision of accessible and reliable infrastructure that supports electric transportation,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll.

Pennsylvania was one of the first states to open a new NEVI funded charging station back in December 2023. 

“Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Governor Shapiro, has been among the states leading the charge to distribute NEVI funds to give drivers confidence while promoting sustained environmental benefits,” Carroll added.
