The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure system seeks to change that, with charging station standards to be released any day now.
The Interstate highway system is NEVI’s priority, Klein says. EV drivers, for instance, must be able to travel I-80 east-west or I-75 north-south without suffering range anxiety. However, the NEVI funding also will help fund charging stations for urban areas and small towns, Native-American reservations, and the like.The Energy and Transportation departments have set a strict goal that recharging stations funded by NEVI must meet a 97% reliability standard.
The 500,000 charging stations created by NEVI essentially will become private-public utilities, some with familiar branding like EVgo, Electrify America, EV Connect, and ChargePoint. Similar to the controversial requirement for the IRA’s EV purchase tax credits, EV chargers must be assembled in the US or by a trade partner to be eligible for NEVI funding.As for the reliability part of the equation, “You have to meet the standards or not get the money,” our source says, “or, not get it again.
That one-strike-and-you’re-out disqualification raises the question of what happens to any NEVI-funded charging stations that are not 97% reliable. If a certain number of stations get federal funds and fail to meet this standard, what will it take to get to 500,000 charging stations ofThere is a service subcontractor for that. Startup companies with a focus on reliability have begun to pop up to serve charging stations.
“Our focus is on data and reliability,” says Walter Thorn, ChargerHelp!’s product chief, “when and how charging stations are failing and how to get them back online as soon as possible.”ChargerHelp! is developing service systems that will deploy technicians to repair and maintain these charging stations and has established a program with the Society of Automotive Engineers to develop EV service excellence-credentialing.
After three years in business, “we certainly have seen success with our customers and can definitely point to instances where we help our customers and their drivers achieve high-reliability outcomes,” Thorn says. “And we are pleased to see overall attention to reliability” in support of a clean,
