Want to Host an EV Charging Station?

The �ֻ�ֱ�� Energy Authority and the �ֻ�ֱ�� Department of Transportation and Public Facilities have requested applications for grant funding to build electric vehicle charging stations as part of .  The request is the first step in initiating the plan’s Phase 1. Application packages are due back to AEA by May 1, 2023, at 4 p.m.

Using National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure formula funding, Phase 1 of the plan focuses on building out EV charging infrastructure along �ֻ�ֱ��’s alternative fuel corridor, the 355-mile stretch of road that connects Fairbanks to Anchorage. NEVI program requirements state that charging sites be located every 50 miles along the corridor, with four EV fast charging ports at each site. �ֻ�ֱ�� was granted an exception to the 50-mile requirement for the section of road between Denali State Park and Cantwell since there is no existing electric infrastructure there.

“Releasing this RFA is a major step toward investing in the future of clean transportation in �ֻ�ֱ��,” said AEA Executive Director Curtis W. Thayer. “The EV charging stations that will be built as a result of this funding will benefit all �ֻ�ֱ��ns, whether it be in the form of access to reliable charging infrastructure, the potential for increased tourism, or reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
