Steps
Check the state DOT/FHWA site for the state's current approved NEVI deployment plan under the Aug 11, 2025 interim final guidance, which replaced all prior guidance after the Feb 2025 funding freeze
Verify Washington v. USDOT (W.D. Wash.) Jan 23, 2026 summary judgment vacating the unlawful plan revocations didn't leave the state's specific solicitation in limbo
Confirm the >97% average annual uptime requirement per 23 CFR 680.116 and how outage/maintenance exclusions are defined before signing an O&M SLA
Confirm quarterly data submission obligations to the Joint Office's EV-ChART tool are built into the site-host contract
Check whether the state's FY2026 apportionment (part of $885M nationwide per FHWA Oct 2025) has been obligated and the state's round is open
Known gotchas
Guidance and litigation status changed multiple times in 2025-2026; don't rely on pre-Aug-2025 guidance docs (the old 50-mile corridor spacing rule was removed)
"NEVI-funded" doesn't guarantee port count/power minimums are unchanged for a given state plan amendment — verify the current 23 CFR 680 station design minimums (4 ports/150kW) still apply
