Indiana experiences significant advancement in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, with Pilot securing a notable advantage
Indiana Boosts EV Charging Network with $3.3 Million Funding
Indiana is set to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging network with a $3.3 million funding boost, as part of the state's ongoing efforts to improve EV infrastructure. This funding comes from the GOEVIN initiative, which aims to support 36 public EV charging projects.
The GOEVIN funding opportunity attracted significant interest, with over 95 applications submitted before the June 30, 2025 deadline. This reflects the growing demand for EV charging facilities in the state.
The funding is part of a larger state-led effort to grow Indiana's EV charging infrastructure. In 2023, the Go EV Indiana initiative committed $6 million to expand the fast charging network.
The new funding will be used to build 18 DC fast charger sites and 18 Level 2 charging stations along Indiana's Alternative Fuel Corridors. These corridors were established as part of the Biden administration's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program.
The Level 2 chargers will be placed in areas where vehicles park for longer periods, such as shopping centres and restaurants, and will be spread across both metro areas and rural communities. Construction on the GOEVIN chargers is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2022.
Meanwhile, Indiana is also making strides in solar energy. EnergySage, a free service that connects users with pre-vetted solar installers for competitive pricing, is gaining popularity in the state. EnergySage offers personalized solar quotes that can be easily compared online, and users can access Energy Advisors for assistance throughout the solar installation process. Using EnergySage can help users save up to 30% compared to going it alone for solar installation.
It's important to note that the federal solar tax credit is set to end in 2022, making now an ideal time for homeowners to consider going solar. EnergySage does not initiate sales calls until a user selects an installer and shares their phone number.
With the growing demand for EVs and solar energy, Indiana is well-positioned to become a leader in clean energy technology. The state has already invested more than $13 billion into EV and battery manufacturing facilities, demonstrating its commitment to a sustainable future.
As the GOEVIN chargers are built and more homes go solar, Indiana residents will have more affordable and convenient options for driving and powering their homes with clean energy.
Electric vehicles are set to benefit from Indiana's expanding charging network, as the state receives a $3.3 million funding boost from the GOEVIN initiative. This investment will facilitate the installation of 18 DC fast charger sites and 18 Level 2 charging stations along Indiana's Alternative Fuel Corridors.
The growing popularity of electric-vehicles is reflected in the over 95 applications submitted for the GOEVIN funding opportunity. As part of Indiana's larger clean energy efforts, the state is also promoting solar energy through services like EnergySage, which offers personalized solar quotes and assistance for homeowners looking to install solar panels.
With investments in both electric vehicles and solar energy infrastructure, Indiana is positioned to lead the way in green energy technology, demonstrating its commitment to a sustainable future for its residents.
