The announcement includes 29 projects in 19 counties across the state. These were largely selected to fill gaps from the year one plan. For those unfamiliar, states were required to submit plans to place an EV charging station with at least four stalls that can output a minimum of 150 kW at the same time. These stations must be no more than 50 miles from the last one, with some exceptions available for places where power isn’t available or other obstacles justify a larger gap.
Altogether, this puts the total number of projects for the first two batches of funding so far to 83, spread across 41 counties. And, the state is already making moves to get the ball rolling on the next batch ASAP.Here is a list of the places selected for this second round of funding and how much is getting allocated for each, organized by county and with both the location and selected company named:$652,736 to eCAMION USA, Inc.
