Peggy Smedley and Rob Bedenbaugh, director of engineering support, South Carolina Dept. of Transportation, talk about the South Carolina NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) plan and EV (electric vehicle) infrastructure. He says the NEVI formula program is a federal source of money that is comprised of $5 billion nationally that is going to be doled out to the various state DOTs (departments of transportation) around the country to support placement of EV charging on the national network.

They also discuss:

• The hurdles of placing these in rural areas such as providing electricity in a fair and equitable manner.
• How these alternatives can reach disadvantaged communities.
• The importance of public and private partnerships.
