$250M grant to boost EV truck charging infrastructure along I-95

The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced awarding $249 million for a project that invests in medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging infrastructure on the Interstate-95 freight corridor and adjacent roadways.

The Climate Pollution Reduction Grant was made to the Clean Corridor Coalition. Led by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the cohort includes Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland.

The New Jersey-led proposal calls for the installation of more than 24 charging locations with approximately 450 public charging ports. As a result, the infrastructure will help reduce cumulative greenhouse gas emission by an estimated of 19 million tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) through 2050.
