  1. Under NEVI program network connectivity requirements, funded charging stations must be capable of transmitting data using which standard?

    Answer: OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol)

    NEVI requires EVSE to use OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) for network communications, ensuring interoperability between hardware and network management systems.

  2. The NEVI program requires that funded stations offer payment options that do not require a mobile app or membership. Which payment method satisfies this requirement?

    Answer: Contactless payment (credit/debit card) via a payment terminal at the station

    NEVI mandates credit/debit card payment at the station so any driver can pay without needing an app, account, or membership.

  3. Which executive order directed federal agencies to develop plans for transitioning their vehicle fleets to zero-emission vehicles, directly spurring demand for federal EV infrastructure?

    Answer: Executive Order 14057 (Catalyzing Clean Energy)

    EO 14057 directed federal agencies to transition to zero-emission vehicles and accelerate clean energy deployment across federal operations.

  4. In a public-private partnership for NEVI-funded infrastructure, which party typically retains ownership and operational responsibility for the charging stations?

    Answer: The private entity (charging network operator or property owner)

    Private entities—such as charging network operators or site hosts—typically own and operate NEVI-funded stations, with public funds covering eligible capital costs.

  5. What is the minimum number of DCFC ports required at each NEVI-funded charging location?

    Answer: 4 ports

    NEVI standards require each funded location to have a minimum of 4 DCFC ports simultaneously available to drivers.

  6. Which certification or standard must NEVI-funded EVSE equipment meet to demonstrate safety and interoperability compliance?

    Answer: UL or equivalent Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) listing

    NEVI requires all EVSE to be listed by UL or another NRTL, confirming the equipment meets applicable safety standards.

  7. When a state's NEVI funds are not obligated within a specified period, what happens to those unspent funds?

    Answer: They may be redistributed to other states or programs per FHWA reallocation rules

    Unobligated NEVI funds are subject to FHWA's reallocation process, potentially redistributing them to states that can deploy them more quickly.
