Two Montgomery County projects have been included among the 54 recipients of conditional awards for federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure funding.

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll, U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Federal Highway Administration Deputy Administrator Andrew Rogers, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers announced earlier this week the first round of funding recipients.

The awards further the Shapiro Administration’s work on addressing climate change and growing the state’s economy while also ensuring that the future of Pennsylvania transportation is cleaner, safer, and more affordable.

The projects were selected to expand access to electrical vehicle charging within the state. The $33.8 million federal investment comes from the $171.5 million PennDOT will receive through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and distribute for electric vehicle charging infrastructure over five years.

“Our team worked diligently to meet federal NEVI requirements while also spreading opportunities among various companies and communities,” said Carroll.

In Montgomery County, Tesla received $211,165 for a charging station at the Wawa in Lansdale. The second recipient is Wawa, which received $733,025 for a charging station at the Wawa in Horsham.

Pennsylvania is among the first states to review federal NEVI funding. Read who also received funding at PennDOT.
