Colorado to Add 971 Miles/$57M to Electric Vehicle Charging Corridor

Colorado is set to receive $57 million to build electric vehicle chargers to include an additional 971 miles of state highway after the Federal Highway Administration approved six stretches of road the state wanted to add to the national network of highways meant to extend EV travel options.

Colorado's National Electric Vehicle infrastructure corridor includes 2,193 road miles already approved for the charger network, and the new segments comprise a 44 percent increase to 3,164 miles.

Under the program, the Colorado Department of Transportation does not own or operate any chargers itself. Rather, the program awards grants to private, public, and nonprofit entities that want to build, own, maintain and operate chargers.
