U.S. DOE Awards Oregon, California, and Washington $102M to Install EV Chargers and Hydrogen Fueling Stations for Trucks Along I-5

The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded Oregon, California, and Washington more than $102 million to install electric vehicle chargers and hydrogen fueling stations for trucks along Interstate 5 and other key freight routes. 

The award will result in new, publicly accessible EV charging stations and hydrogen fueling stations for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles like delivery vans and long-haul freight trucks. The stations are part of a collaborative project among the West Coast states to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in the trucking and logistics industries.  

You can read more details about the award, and the full list of awarded projects nationwide, in this online PDF from the Federal Highway Administration. California’s award for the “West Coast Truck Charging and Fueling Corridor Project” is the one shared with Oregon and Washington.
