A new round of electric vehicle charging station funding was announced by commonwealth of Pennsylvania late last month.
PennDOT announced it awarded grants totalling $37 million to 71 companies and local governments in Philadelphia as well as Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware and Chester counties. The grant recipients will install around 515 new charging ports in shopping centers, at apartment buildings and along street.
The planned stations will expand the number of public charging ports in these counties by about 27%, from the current total of close to 1,900, according to PennDOT.
The funding comes from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, that was created under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Pennsylvania had already distributed $58.4 million of this funding for 88 projects across the state that are in various stages of planning, construction and operation, prior to the announcement. PennDOT officials say, with 54 of these charging stations up and running, more chargers have been built using this federal funding in Pennsylvania than in any other state.
