I posted my first update on the Wisconsin NEVI program back in the summer of 2024. So much has changed since that post (link), that I figured instead of going back and updating that post with the latest, I would make a new post with the latest status of the project and what to expect next.
Wisconsin announced the winners of the round 1 NEVI site awards on 5/24/2024. With 53 sites selected from 250+ applications. A total of $23.3 million dollars of federal money allocated to bring DCFC throughout Wisconsin. This was followed in November of 2025 with a Round 1.5 conditional award adding 26 more sites. The convenience store chain Kwik Trip has been the big winner. We also know from the Wisconsin Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (WEVI) website that there will be many different hardware solutions implemented; “WEVI charging stations use many different charging station models, including Aliptronic America, ChargePoint, Jule, Kempower, Red E Charge, SK Signet, Tellus Power Green, and Tesla.”
Here is the latest WEVI Dashboard image of projects:
