The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has developed the 2025 update to the Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Deployment Plan - which recommends adding EV charging stations along nine additional state highways - and is seeking the public’s input on the plan.
As part of the 2025 plan update, ADOT is recommending expanding the state’s EV charging network to include the following nine additional state highways.
- SR 77, Show Low to Holbrook
- SR 77, Tucson to Pima County Border
- SR 69, I-17 to Prescott
- SR 89A/89, from SR69 to just north of Paulden
- SR 179, I-17 to Sedona
- SR 89/89A, Cottonwood to Sedona
- SR 260, I-17 to Cottonwood/SR 89A
- SR 85, I-8 (Gila Bend) to I-10 (Buckeye)
- SR 287, Casa Grande to I-10
The presentation can be found at azdot.gov/EVPlan2025.
The public can provide feedback on the proposed update through Sept. 8 in the following ways:
ADOT’s statewide EV charging network will be implemented in phases. This is the final phase of ADOT’s EV Deployment Plan. Previous ADOT EV plans identified charging locations along all interstate freeways, US 89 and 93, state routes 68, 90, 95 and 160 and portions of US 60 and state routes 64, 80, 87 and 347. These corridors are part of the National Highway System and identified as alternative fuel corridors, making them eligible for funding through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. ADOT expects the first new EV charging stations along the interstates to be completed in 2026.
