Back in November of 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. Since then, New Hampshire (and other states) have been receiving federal money to update and/or improve their roads, bridges, public transportation and building more electric vehicle charging stations to name a few issues that money has been earmarked for.
Phase 1 of the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program will be to place charging stations along Route 16 and Interstate 93. The recipients of $2.8 million, through the state’s Dept. of Transportation (DOT), are the towns of North Woodstock, Rochester, Sanbornville and Tilton:
- North Woodstock; White Mountain Visitor Center, developed by ReVision Energy;
- Tilton; 75 Laconia Road, developed by Gridwealth EV;
- Rochester; 127 Market Place Boulevard, developed by Gridwealth EV;
- Sanbornville; Global Mobil Mart, developed by Global Montello Group.
Once approved by the governor and the Executive Council, placement of these charging stations can begin before the end of the year.
