A new batch of businesses–mainly featuring gas stations and hotels–will receive a combined $14 million in federal funding to help expand Wisconsin’s electric vehicle charging network.

The governor’s office announced the latest NEVI awards Monday.

Kwik Trip received the most grants of any company this round, winning 11 of 26. Other recipients include a Target in Hudson, a Culver’s in Mauston, and the Three Bears Waterpark & Resort in Warrens, among others statewide.

Recipients must use the funding to build Level 3 fast EV chargers, with the awards covering up to 80% of the construction costs.  A new law dedicates $0.03 per kilowatthour sold at these stations for the Transportation Fund.  That law went into effect in January.

The state announced the first batch of NEVI funds back in April 2024.
