BISMARCK, ND — The Federal Highway Administration has awarded North Dakota $1.2 million to support the development of EV fast chargers.

The funding is for the state Department of Transportation to develop EV fast chargers in more than a dozen communities across the state.  The changes are made with the goal of making charging stations more accessible to drivers.

The following list of towns are eligible for fast chargers.

  • Williston
  • Watford City
  • Stanley
  • Kenmare
  • Minot
  • Coleharbor
  • Bowman
  • Linton
  • Ellendale

  • Grafton
  • Devils Lake

“This funding opportunity helps North Dakota target investment in EV charging infrastructure in communities throughout our state,” said Russ Buchholz, NDDOT project manager. “Installing fast chargers in these communities will help reduce range anxiety for EV drivers, making North Dakota more accessible to both in-state EV drivers and out-of-state tourists.”
