The Utah Department of Transportation will double the state's EV charging capacity by the end of 2024 with 15 new sites funded through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, according to a press release.

By the end of next year, EV owners will be able to travel anywhere along Utah's interstates US-6 and US-191 with access to EV chargers.

In this first phase of the program, about $17.5 million will be invested in providing the traveling public with access to EV charging every 50 miles along Utah's interstate highways. No state taxpayer dollars are being used in this phase, as UDOT is entering into public-private partnerships to implement the project.

The 15 sites are listed on the department's website.
