California’s 2025 NEVI Deployment Plan was approved on September 10, 2025. California NEVI Deployment Plan - PDF Programs Expand All Collapse All National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program was established under the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act of 2021 and will give California $384 million over the course of five years. NEVI is an initiative to create a coast-to-coast network of EV chargers focused on major highways that support the majority of long-distance trips. Through this program at least four 150kW DC fast chargers will be installed at least every 50 miles over 6,600 miles of interstates, US routes, and state routes.

The $5 billion NEVI Formula Program contains a 10 percent set-aside for states and localities that require additional assistance to strategically deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The EVC RAA Program was developed through this set-aside. By addressing reliability and accessibility challenges, the EVC RAA Program aims to spur wider adoption of EVs.
