Georgia has awarded $24.4 million in federal funding to build 26 new DC fast-charging stations along key highway corridors. The Georgia State Transportation Board approved the awards as part of the state’s second deployment round under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program.
The project will expand public fast-charging coverage across rural and underserved areas. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) identified 33 candidate sites and received 41 proposals for 26 locations. Six selected developers will design, install, finance, operate, and maintain the stations for at least five years.
NEVI funds, provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, will cover up to 80% of eligible project costs. Georgia’s NEVI allocation totals about $135 million through 2026.
Installations will start in 2025. Each site will include multiple DC fast chargers that support common charging standards. These stations will close remaining gaps along major corridors and support the state’s target of providing reliable charging access every 50 miles.
