Joint Office Updates

Sept. 20, 2023

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is accelerating the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by adopting a Department of Energy Electric Vehicle Charging Station Categorical Exclusion (CE) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

DOT filed a Federal Register notice announcing the adoption, taking advantage of a new provision in the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA). This will allow for faster environmental review processes for state and local governments as they work to build out a convenient, accessible, and reliable EV charging network by allowing the vast majority of US DOT’s $7.5 billion in EV charging investments to be considered under CEs.

Learn more about the EV Charging Station CE.
