"Biden's $7.5 Billion Investment Powers First EV Charging Station in Ohio"

The first electric vehicle (EV) charging station funded by President Joe Biden's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program has opened in Ohio. The station, installed by EVgo, features four charging stalls and is capable of delivering up to 350 kW of power. Ohio expects to receive $140 million in NEVI funds over five years, with the first batch of EV fast-chargers funded by the program set to open by the end of next year. Other states, including Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Maine, have also broken ground on their first NEVI-funded charging stations. The NEVI program aims to establish 500,000 public EV chargers across the U.S. by 2030.
