Definition
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program is a United States federal funding programme that provides funding to states for deployment of public EV charging infrastructure. It was established to build an interconnected charging network, initially focused on designated Alternative Fuel Corridors. Under FY2026 programme rules, the federal share is 80% and private entities may provide the non-federal share of project costs.
Why it matters
NEVI matters to UK readers because it is frequently referenced in international EV charging news and can be mistaken for a direct equivalent of LEVI. NEVI is a US federal-state programme with a strong corridor-charging focus, while LEVI is an England-focused local authority programme. Understanding the distinction helps when comparing funding, procurement, charger requirements and deployment strategies.
