Arizona Updates Its EV Charging Plans
Since those previous meetings, the charging landscape has changed in some fairly big ways, with the biggest development being multiple automakers choosing to adopt Tesla’s NACS plug starting in 2025. As I explained in another article, this doesn’t change the federal requirements, butMuch of the beginning of the meeting was housekeeping, but it was impressive that they managed to present the meeting in English, Spanish, and Navajo .
The first thing they did was explain the “staged approach” the state is taking, which is really required by the NEVI program. Year one’s plan was just for Arizona’s interstate highways . Now, the state is adding additional corridors along U.S. and state highways that serve key transportation needs outside of the interstates.
In subsequent years, more corridors are going to get some love, including the rest of the route between Phoenix and Vegas, Sedona, Sierra Vista/Huachuca, Douglas, and the rest of the Navajo Nation, among several other key places.It’s important to note that even with this plan, the station construction won’t actually start until about a year after the contractor gets selected for each site.
They want contractors to consider pull-through charging for trailers, shade canopies, and other site enhancements. These decisions will be made with individual contractors on a per-site basis.
