South Carolina NEVI Program Update

February 2025

The South Carolina Department of Transportation is suspending work on South Carolina’s NEVI Program as of February 2025 based on guidance from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The U.S. DOT is reviewing the policies for the NEVI Formula Program to better align with the U.S. DOT Policy set forth in DOT Order 2100.7. FHWA will be issuing updated, draft NEVI Formula Guidance for public comment this spring and will publish final NEVI Formula Guidance after the comment period has closed. At that time, SCDOT will follow the updated federal guidance provided for the program.
