The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) has announced its recipients for the 2023 Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant Program. This year’s funding totaled $1.2 million and will support projects in Dothan, Gadsden, Montgomery County, Phenix City and Wedowee.

The grants are awarded to help Alabama be ready as more electric vehicles are purchased and travel the state highways.

“As more electric cars and trucks, including many models produced by Alabama car manufacturers, make their way onto Alabama roadways, they will need access to adequate charging facilities,” Gov. Ivey said. “Our goal is to ensure that electric vehicle charging stations are located not only along the interstate system, but on other major highway arteries throughout the state.”
