100 New Fast EV Charging Ports Coming To Colorado - CleanTechnica

Colorado has secured the final $12 million of a $56.5 million federal grant from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, which will fund the installation of about 100 new fast public EV charging ports at priority locations across the state. This funding will be combined with Colorado’s Community Access Enterprise resources to expand the existing network, which currently includes over 5,000 Level 2 chargers and 1,400 fast chargers. Notably, more than 80% of Colorado’s highway system is now within 30 miles of a fast-charging station, supporting the state’s growing EV market with over 200,000 registered electric vehicles. The expansion of EV infrastructure also targets key tourist and recreational areas, with charging stations available at 19 of Colorado’s 26 scenic byways and near ski resorts and national parks. The state’s efforts align with broader national goals, such as former President Biden’s vision of 500,000 public EV chargers, though this target remains challenging. Colorado’s proactive approach
