Steps
Query the Alternative Fuel Stations API for electric stations in your target area using the standard fuel_type and location filters
Use the funding_sources query parameter on the All Stations endpoint — a single value or comma-separated list — set to NEVI to filter directly to NEVI-funded stations, and inspect the funding/ownership fields in the response for additional context
Cross-reference results against publicly published state NEVI deployment plans if you need higher-confidence identification of NEVI-funded sites
Cache and periodically refresh your NEVI-tagged station list, since funding attribution data and new station rollouts change over time
Clearly label NEVI-derived results as best-effort in your product if you are relying on inferred metadata rather than an authoritative dedicated feed
Known gotchas
The All Stations endpoint supports a funding_sources filter parameter that accepts NEVI as a value; confirm current accepted funding-source values against live docs before building, since the taxonomy can be updated as new funding programs are added
Funding and ownership metadata coverage can be incomplete for newer stations, so treat NEVI identification from this data as approximate rather than authoritative
