ODOT’s goal is to deploy the State’s NEVI formula funds to strategically support the development of reliable, convenient, affordable, and equitable EVSE along I-205. The Grantee will own, operate, and maintain the EVSE. The EVSE will not be located on ODOT or state-owned right-of-way. This NOFO includes additional requirements for EVSE, site selection, installation, operations and maintenance (O&M), and reporting requirements, including:
- Requiring that one charger at each station will provide charging at above 150kW;
- Requiring future proofing to include conduit and wiring for a minimum of two additional chargers at each station (>150kW);
- Incentivizing pull-through design to better enable vehicles pulling a trailer and medium-duty vehicles to easily access charging (including a requirement of at least one pull-through charger on each corridor);
- Encouraging Applicants to plan for the inclusion of NACS (SAE J3400) dual-port charging equipment when NRTL-listed equipment is available;
- Encouraging convenient access to amenities at each charging station (e.g., restrooms, covered awnings, food and other retail, emergency call boxes and video surveillance, 110/120-volt outlets for electric micromobility).
The goal of this NOFO is to implement FFY22 funding along I-205. ODOT will fund two NEVIcompliant charging stations along I-205. ODOT has established the following goals for this NOFO:
- Maximize the impact of federal funding.
- Use a best-value approach to evaluation.
- Guarantee that charger installations, operations, maintenance, and ownership can be handled by an experienced prime subrecipient that is responsible for complying with all federal requirements attached to this funding outlined in Section 4.1.
- Maximize benefit to EV drivers in Oregon by incentivizing innovation, future proofing, and resiliency.
