Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Standards
EV chargers funded under provisions outlined in 23 U.S. Code will be treated as Federal-aid Highway Program projects. EV chargers installed using these funds are restricted to those that implement non-proprietary charging connectors that meet applicable industry standards and allow for open access payment methods that are available to all members of the public to ensure secure, convenient, and equal access to the EV chargers.
