Washington State Plan for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment

Washington State’s Plan for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment is a blueprint for the planning, prioritization, and implementation of a statewide network of charging stations along state highways. The plan’s vision is a network where all Washingtonians can choose to drive or ride electric, with a goal of developing a convenient, reliable, affordable, and equitable charging experience for all. Washington State expects to invest about $71 million from this program over five years, along with a 20 percent non-federal match of $17.75 million. Washington will finalize and submit this document by August 1, 2022, for eligibility for federal funding. The state maintains a website (https://wsdot. wa.gov/construction-planning/statewide-plans/national-electrical-vehicle-infrastructure-plan) to provide updated information on the planning process and implementation.
