Learn more about the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Department of Transportation’s electric vehicle infrastructure deployment plan and provide input during a virtual public meeting on July 14.
ADOT is developing the plan in response to funding made available through the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle chargers along “alternative-fuel corridors.â€
ADOT’s plan envisions a network of EV fast chargers along the state’s interstate highways, facilitating long-distance EV travel and encouraging EV adoption by more users.
Current designated alt-fuel corridors in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ are I-10, I-17, I-8 and I-40, along with a short stretch of I-15 in the northwest corner of the state. Interstate 19 from I-10 to Nogales is a proposed corridor, and additional corridors can be added in the future, ADOT said.

The program is being funded as part of $5 billion made available for EV charging through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
