What every NEVI site in Kentucky guarantees

Stations built with National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) formula money must meet federal minimum standards that most other public chargers do not have to.

• At least four DC fast ports

  Each site must have a minimum of four CCS ports, each able to deliver 150 kW at the same time, so a full row of cars charges at full speed.

• 97% uptime, measured

  Operators must keep every port working at least 97% of the year and report reliability to the government, which is why NEVI sites tend to be well maintained.

• Open to the public, around the clock

  NEVI stations are on public property or open commercial sites, available 24 hours a day, with no membership required to charge.

• Clear pricing you can pay without an app

  Prices must be shown per kilowatt-hour before you plug in, and every site must accept contactless card payment alongside any network app.

• On the highway corridors that matter

  Sites are placed along federally designated Alternative Fuel Corridors, within a mile of the exit and no more than 50 miles apart, to make long trips practical.

Funding tags come from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, which lists a site as NEVI-funded once it is open. Awarded sites that have not opened yet are not shown here. Want the bigger picture? See the state EV market pages.
