Go Electric Vehicle Indiana (GOEVIN) has selected 36 projects to receive more than $3.3 million in funding under its Charging Infrastructure Funding Opportunity programme, aimed at expanding public access to electric vehicle (EV) charging across the state.
The award will support the installation of 18 DC fast-charging stations and 18 Level 2 charging locations. According to GOEVIN, the fast-charging hubs will be placed along Indiana’s designated Alternative Fuel Corridors, located near shopping centres, restaurants, and service areas, and will provide 24/7 access. The Level 2 charging hubs are intended for sites where drivers spend longer periods, including both urban and rural locations with extended dwell times.
Award recipients include a mix of public and private entities, such as Tesla, Red E Charging, Butler University, and the city governments of South Bend, Evansville, and Rensselaer. More than 95 proposals were submitted before the June 30 deadline. Ryan Lisek, programme director at Drive Clean Indiana, said the funding complements the state’s ongoing investment in EV adoption. “Indiana has invested over $13 billion to support the development of electric vehicles and battery manufacturing facilities,” Lisek said.
The announcement follows a June outreach tour by GOEVIN, which held events in eight cities including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Lafayette to promote charging initiatives and gather feedback from stakeholders. Construction on the new stations is expected to begin this autumn, with all projects scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
