North Dakota is actively expanding its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, particularly along its major interstate highways, I-94 and I-29. This growth is significantly bolstered by federal funding through programs like the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. From 2021 to 2023, the state experienced a substantial increase in charging options, with direct current fast-charging (DCFC) ports rising by 52% and Level 2 charging ports by 49%. As of October 2025, there are over 100 public EV charging stations, with a good mix of Level 2 and DC fast charging.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is strategically deploying approximately 18 new charging stations along the I-94 and I-29 corridors, aiming for installations roughly every 50 miles and within one mile of interstate exits. Construction for these vital connections is anticipated to commence in 2024 and 2025. The NEVI program, allocating an estimated $25.9 million to North Dakota from 2022 to 2026, is a key enabler for this build-out, specifically targeting the designated Alternative Fuel Corridors.

Beyond the interstates, efforts are also underway to expand charging options in broader communities, enhancing accessibility and reducing range anxiety for both residents and visitors. Private sector companies are also contributing to this expansion, with new charging stations already operational or planned in various locations. This concerted effort demonstrates a clear commitment to fostering a robust and accessible EV charging network across North Dakota.
