Mississippi is steadily expanding its electric vehicle charging infrastructure, supported by a significant infusion of federal funding. Through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, the state was allocated over $50 million to develop its charging network. This investment is showing results, with DC fast-charging ports increasing by 60% and Level 2 ports growing by 34% between 2021 and 2023. The state's strategy prioritizes placing these new chargers along key transportation routes, designating its interstate highways as Alternative Fuel Corridors. This ensures that the infrastructure supports both local commuters and long-distance travelers, facilitating easier EV adoption across Mississippi.

The focus on major highways means that EV charging stations are becoming more common along primary travel arteries. Interstate 55 sees charging options in cities like Jackson and near McComb, while the I-20 corridor has stations in the Jackson and Meridian areas. Along the Gulf Coast, Interstate 10 is relatively well-served, particularly around Gulfport and Biloxi. While more rural stretches of highway still present coverage gaps, the coordinated effort to build out these corridors is creating a more viable network for EV drivers. Urban centers such as Jackson, which has over 200 charging stations, anchor the growing infrastructure and provide essential charging hubs for the state's residents.
