Minnesota will receive $68 million over the next five years to build out infrastructure under the federal, bipartisan infrastructure law, according to a kstp.com report.

The state recently approved a plan to install EV stations every 50 miles within one mile of the highway on the I-35 and I-94 corridors, from Albert Lea to Duluth and from Fargo to Saint Paul.

The state's transportation department will hold a competitive process to determine who will provide, maintain and host the equipment at the 16 sites.

The goal is to install the chargers by 2024.
