The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is seeking proposals from companies who can support the continued development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure along designated alternative fuel corridors in Oklahoma. Requests for Proposals may be submitted through a link on ODOT’s webpage until 2 p.m. on Aug. 25, 2026.
Companies selected to receive funding will be required to adhere to the Federal Highway Administration National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program final rules as well as comply with Oklahoma state laws. Key documents outlining the requirements include the:
- FHWA NEVI Formula Program Guidance
- NEVI Formula Program Q&A
- NEVI Standards and Requirements – FINAL RULES
- ODOT NEVI Plan
Eligible sites for NEVI funding must be within 50 miles of pre-existing or planned sites in designated corridors, within a one-mile driving distance of an exit, equipped with at least four charging ports capable of simultaneous 150kW or higher charging, accessible 24/7/365 and have broadband or cellular capability.
ODOT recommends that interested applicants coordinate with the electric distribution utility serving their prospective NEVI site to assess power capabilities and engage with the local municipality to determine permitting and zoning requirements. The federal funding can cover up to 80% of eligible NEVI project expenses, with a minimum 20% non-federal cost share required.
