Iowa DOT and its partners have developed a draft notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) that will be used to disburse federal NEVI formula funds within the state. The final NOFO will be the mechanism to solicit applications and ultimately select funding recipients to support the roll-out of electric vehicle charging infrastructure along interstate alternative fuel corridors.

Because this is a first of its kind program within Iowa, Iowa DOT and its partners are distributing draft NOFO documents for comment and feedback from potential applicants and stakeholders. Specifically, we are looking for feedback on the content and requirements outlined in the draft NOFO. Iowa DOT will review all feedback received and make any amendments to the NOFO as necessary before putting the final NOFO out for full advertisement in the coming weeks. Iowa DOT will not be posting the feedback received nor will we be responding directly to questions or feedback. 
 
You can view the draft NOFO document here: Iowa-NEVI-NOFO-draft.pdf (iowadot.gov).

Iowa DOT will be receiving comments for 14 days, until November 2, 2023. To submit a comment, email iowa.evplan@iowadot.us and include “NOFO Feedback” in the subject line.
