State officials have made $11 million in federal funds available to support public electric-vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in central Pennsylvania. The Shapiro administration announced the program, which is intended to help expand publicly accessible charging stations across the region.
Local reporting from the Centre Daily Times notes that the initiative is now open to applicants in Centre County, giving local governments, agencies or other eligible entities a chance to seek funds to install or upgrade public chargers.
Officials framed the funding as a step toward improving charging access in the region and supporting broader clean-transportation goals. With the application window open for Centre County, communities and organizations that have been planning for EV infrastructure can pursue federal support to move projects forward — and drivers who’ve been watching their range meters a little too closely may get some relief down the road.
