Texas electric vehicle planning
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will continue to be open to questions and comments as it continues with the NEVI program, and those can be submitted online. We encourage the public to visit this site for updates as the program progresses periodically. TxDOT thanks the public for its extensive input during the process and looks forward to working with you as it develops over time. We also encourage you to explore the links below for further details and interactive information about the progress of electric vehicle charging capabilities across the state.

Federal laws and rules
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law on Nov. 15, 2021, established the NEVI Formula Program. NEVI will provide funding to states to deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure along public roads to establish an interconnected network across the state and nation. For fiscal years 2022-2026, Texas will receive $407.8 million. The funds will be split 80 percent federal, and 20 percent state (site developers will pay the state share).
Governor's guidance
In support of the Texas Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan, Governor Greg Abbott issued a letter requesting that TxDOT lead the way in developing a plan to ensure all Texans have access to the EV infrastructure with a focus on rural placement and connectivity.
