Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Partnerships Program

Summary

As part of the Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Partnership (ZEVIP), the Washington State Department of Transportation provides funding for the installation of new electric vehicle charging equipment and hydrogen fueling infrastructure along priority corridors. While the grant is available to nonprofit organizations, tribes, and state and local government agencies, grant recipients must partner with private sector organizations to develop and implement their projects. Funding may be used for site design, equipment purchases, electrical upgrades, installation, signage, operations, and maintenance. Eligible projects are limited to new installation of EV charging infrastructure and new installation of hydrogen refueling infrastructure.

Priority corridors for EV charging include only state routes. EV charging stations should be located every 50 miles and within one travel mile of the priority corridor. Priority corridors for hydrogen fueling infrastructure include Interstate, U.S. routes, and state routes. Hydrogen stations should be located at least every 150 miles and within 5 travel miles of the priority corridor.
