PROGRAM UPDATE: Charging the Crossroads is funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. On February 6, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced a review of policies related to the NEVI Formula Program and that approval of all state EV Infrastructure Deployment plans is suspended. Therefore, all components of Charging the Crossroads remain paused until new federal guidance is released. INDOT will provide further updates as information becomes available.
Charging the Crossroads
Indiana’s Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Network
Charging the Crossroads is the Indiana Department of Transportation’s plan to invest nearly $100 million to build an electric vehicle (EV) charging network at strategic locations along Indiana’s interstates and highways.
Funded through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, Indiana’s effort feeds into a national initiative to create a network of at least 500,000 reliable chargers across the U.S. to support the growing adoption of electric vehicles.
NOFO #2: Upcoming Events & Resources
Charging the Crossroads anticipates providing additional networking opportunities for potential prime applicants, site hosts, and subcontractors in 2025. These events will allow interested groups to learn more, ask questions, and connect with potential partners. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
Justice40: Draft Implementation Plan
INDOT has released a draft Justice40 Implementation Plan for the Charging the Crossroads program. Public and stakeholder feedback was used to identify benefits related to access, reliability, EV awareness and education, safety, workforce development, and community impacts. The plan seeks to track, measure, and report on these benefits to ensure at least 40 percent of the overall Charging the Crossroads program benefits flow to disadvantaged communities.
Public comments on the draft plan were accepted through August 28, 2024. Following the public comment period, feedback will be reviewed and incorporated into the plan. The updated Justice40 Implementation plan will be posted to ChargingtheCrossroads.com later this year.
EV Partner Directory
The Charging the Crossroads EV Partner Directory is intended to connect individuals or organizations that are seeking partners or are open to partnering on an electric vehicle infrastructure project.
Summer 2024: Public Meetings
This summer, INDOT hosted public information meetings to provide updates and gather feedback on the Charging the Crossroads program.
These meetings were held around the state in June and July. If you were unable to attend one of the in-person public meetings you can view the meeting materials at the link below.
Awarded Sites: Interactive Map
39 sites along Indiana’s alternative fuel corridors (AFCs) have been selected as the first round of EV fast charging stations that will be funded by Charging the Crossroads. A map and full list of the contingent awarded sites can be found here.
INDOT anticipates the installation of initial charging stations at these sites to begin in 2025.
