Yesterday the Oregon DOT (ODOT) Climate Office announced that it had selected (intent to award, subject to final agreements) Electrify America, EVCS, and EvGateway for its NEVI Round 1 grants. ODOT expects to have agreements in place before the end of 2024, and estimates the companies will begin installing NEVI-funded stations in 2025. Thirteen sites were awarded, with each winning applicant selected for one of three key routes: Interstate 205, Interstate 5 (south of Eugene), and U.S. Highway 97. EV Charging Solutions, better known as EVCS, was awarded seven sites, followed by EvGateway with four, and Electrify America with two. We believe all 13 sites are 4-port stations, but per ODOT requirements, the sites will have wiring and conduit installed for two additional future ports. As you can see in the table, assuming all sites are four-port sites, EVCS has the highest per-port funding amount at $250,000 with EvGateway at $143,750 and Electrify America at $137,500. Electrify America provided the highest average match percentage at 54.2%, with EVGateway at 32.4%, and EVCS at 25.5%. EVCS had the highest average total cost per site at $1,342,857 with Electrify America at $1.2 million, and EvGateway at $850,000. Electrify America’s costs appear to be at least partially due to 350 kW charging hardware and a pull-through lane at one site, and EVCS’s costs are likely driven by additional costs for canopies and pull-through lanes. 32 states plus the District of Columbia have now issued at least one round of NEVI awards, though New York and Vermont's awards to date were not from a competitive RFP process. Five states have announced awards for two rounds, and Pennsylvania has issued awards for three NEVI RFP rounds. Several announcements are currently overdue, so we expect that Virginia (R2), New Mexico (R2), and Puerto Rico (R1) could announce next week. And we are still waiting on the final site awards to be announced from Mass DOT, which selected vendors, but has yet to finalize the number and location of sites per each selected applicant. By the end of 2024, we expect that close to 75% of the 50 states + DC and PR will have announced at least Round 1 NEVI awards. Source: Paren (EVAdoption) NEVI Database
