LADOTD Launches Statewide Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Public Survey

Over the next five years, Louisiana will receive approximately $73 million for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) plans to administer the deployment of electric vehicle charging station infrastructure throughout the State.  

As part of the EV infrastructure deployment, Congress has made National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program funds available for expenditure by state transportation agencies. These funds will cover 80 percent of the EV infrastructure expenses with a minimum 20 percent state match covered by grant recipients.  The NEVI program requires each state to submit a deployment plan to FHWA by August 1, 2022. 

Take the public survey​ and provide your feedback. You can also visit the LADOTD's EV website to find out more information.
