The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has opened six new federally funded electric vehicle (EV) charging stations under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, bringing the state’s total to 17 operational NEVI sites—second highest in the United States.
The new stations, funded through a $9 million federal investment, are located in Lawrence, Jefferson, Fulton, Cumberland, Allegheny, and Crawford counties. These sites were built to enhance EV access along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs), including Interstates 76, 80, 81, 376, and 79.
New charging locations:
- Sheetz (Tesla) – Route 224, I-376 (Exit 13), New Castle, Lawrence County
- Love’s Travel Stop – I-80 (Exit 81), Brookville, Jefferson County
- 522 Pitstop (Tesla) – Route 522, I-76 (Exit 180), Fort Littleton, Fulton County
- Wawa – I-81 (Exit 65A), Enola, Cumberland County
- EVgo – I-76 (Exit 57) / I-376 (Exit 84), Monroeville, Allegheny County
- Giant Eagle (Tesla) – I-79 (Exit 147), Meadville, Crawford County
Since launching NEVI-funded infrastructure, Pennsylvania stations have delivered over 17,400 charging sessions, enabling an estimated 2 million electric miles and reducing CO₂ emissions by more than 950,000 pounds.
To date, PennDOT has obligated approximately $70 million of its $171.5 million NEVI allocation. Of that, around $59 million supports 90 projects currently under contract. The first phase of funding prioritizes coverage along AFCs, ensuring stations are located no more than 50 miles apart and within 1 mile of a designated corridor exit.
