NCDOT encourages potential applicants to use the NEVI Networking Database to network with local companies to engage as team members. NEVI Networking Database RegistrationOngoing Database Registration NEVI Networking Database This database was updated on March 22, 2024, and contains information on companies that want to form teams to bid on NEVI projects. Download Database Round 1 Station Locations NCDOT has released a GIS-based map showing the NEVI Phase 1 - Round 1 proposed locations for 11 electric vehicle charging stations. Each location on the GIS map is a "cluster" of one or more exits along the alternative fuel corridors. These exits are within the bounds of meeting NEVI's 50-mile spacing requirement. Applicants to the NEVI Program must site proposed charging stations within the designated clusters. There will be one charging station per cluster. The GIS map has layers that can be turned on to show disadvantaged communities and 100-year flood plains (see top right corner of GIS website). N.C. NEVI Round 1 Clusters - List of Exits N.C.
