FHWA Suspends Approval of State Deployment Plans Under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program

On February 6, 2025, FHWA announced that it was revising the agency’s policies that address implementing the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, and revoked all prior guidance on the program. The announcement added that “effective immediately, no new obligations may occur under the NEVI Formula Program until the updated final NEVI Formula Program Guidance is issued and new State plans are submitted and approved.” FHWA indicated that it anticipates publishing draft updated guidance in the spring, and that it will take and respond to public comments on that draft.
