Gov. Evers announces funding to support 42 new EV charging stations across Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) – New electric vehicle charging stations are coming to Wisconsin thanks to grant funding, Gov. Tony Evers announced Tuesday. The governor's office announced 42 locations across the state will receive grant awards to build electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Wisconsin. The grant funding comes from the $25 million that Gov. Evers said his administration fought for and secured through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was created by President Joe Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). More information about the funding can be found here. The 42 sites selected in the latest round of funding, through the Wisconsin Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (WEVI) Connecting Corridors Program, will be built on U.S. and state highway corridors that were not previously considered for WEVI funding. The locations of every planned charging station can be found on WisDOT's EV charging station dashboard, and the 42 grants, as announced Tuesday, are as follows: Belgium | $627,390 Kwik Trip #1281 near I-43 Belmont | $561,540 Kwik Trip #1197 near US-151 Boscobel | $607,648 AmericInn by Wyndham Boscobel near US-61 Brown Deer | $624,886 Country Inn & Suites by Radisson – Milwaukee North near WI-100 Chilton | $628,395 Best Western Stanton Inn near US-10 Coloma | $437,603 Kwik Trip #1979 near WI-21 De Pere | $626,287 BP near WI-32 Dodgeville | $591,022 Best Western Dodgeville Inn & Suites near US-18 Eagle River | $602,466 Days Inn by Wyndham Eagle River near US-45 Eau Claire | $455,745 Dairy Queen near WI-93 Ellsworth | $488,770 Waltz Ace Hardware near US-63 Fennimore | $612,952 Napps Motel near US-18 Fitchburg | $734,434 Sunoco near US-14 Fond du Lac | $609,926 BP near WI-23 Gillett | $630,666 Shell near WI-32 Hayward | $488,770 Marketplace Foods near US-63 Lomira | $636,446 Hi-Way Hop near I-41 Madison | $396,800 Woodman's near US-12 Marshfield | $591,016 AmericInn by Wyndham Marshfield near US-10 Milwaukee | $930,849 Walker's Point Plaza near WI-32 Monona | $596,292 BP near US-12 Monroe | $925,600 Downtown Monroe near WI-11 Mt Pleasant | $631,176 Somers Market near I-41 Oconomowoc | $618,678 Hilton Garden Inn Oconomowoc near I-94 Prairie du Chien | $426,831 Kwik Trip #307 near US-18 Racine | $623,010 Comfort Inn Mount Pleasant – Racine near WI-11 Random Lake | $627,640 Random Lake Motel near WI-57 Reedsburg | $607,648 Mobil near WI-23 Reedsville | $910,260 Cenex near US-10 Richland Center | $606,390 Ramada by Wyndham Richland Center near US-14 River Falls | $433,795 Kwik Trip #1104 near WI-35 Salem Lakes | $636,378 Shell near US-45 Spring Green | $603,745 Round Barn Lodge near US-14 Sturgeon Bay | $436,357 Kwik Trip #1282 near WI-57 Turtle Lake | $488,770 Cenex near US-63 Viroqua | $564,158 Sleepy Hollow Commercial Truck Center near US-14 Watertown | $632,094 Best Western Watertown near WI-26 Waukesha | $670,786 Hop N Shop #19 near US-18 Wausau | $629,918 Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Wausau near I-39 West Bend | $418,365 Kwik Trip #1982 near WI-33 Whitewater | $423,562 Kwik Trip #1065 near US-12 Wisconsin Rapids | $612,687 BP near WI-54 WisDOT evaluated a variety of factors when choosing these projects, including location, the potential for future development, availability of pull-through parking spaces to allow for larger EVs, and extended business site hours to accommodate longer refueling times.
