Tennessee NEVI Funding Sites

 On January 31, 2024, Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) released the list of Round 1 NEVI funded Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM) award winners.  In round 1, TDOT awarded 30 sites to 9 different operating companies.  The official press release included a map of the site locations, and a listing that showed: Applicant/Operator (likely CPO), Site Host, Site Address (although some were listed only with general coordinate), and cost breakdown.  Here we are tracking this list for installation status and projected hardware installation.

The first round of awards focuses on coverage of major travel corridors, but this leaves some areas without coverage.  We can expect many of these gaps to be filled in with future funding round awards.
