Greater Cincinnati will see 43 new stations for charging electric vehicles, with approval of $11.1 million in federal funding.
The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (known as OKI) on Wednesday said it OK’d awards from its Carbon Reduction Program, funded by the Biden administration’s 2021 infrastructure law.
Sixteen recipients – most of them local communities – will share the funds to build the 43 stations.
Four communities will get more than $1 million each. Three plan to build four stations each – Hamilton with $1.6 million, Middletown with $1.5 million and Anderson Township with $1.2 million.
The fourth, Miami University, will receive $1 million for a station at its airport.
With this year’s awards, OKI will have awarded $16.8 million in federal dollars for EV charging stations. It gave six applicants $2.5 million in 2023 and eight others $3.2 million earlier this year.
The eight-county OKI region has 160 of what are called level-two charging stations (ones that fully charge a battery overnight) and 14 fast-charging stations, the organization said. That excludes stations at hotels, car dealerships and other places only available to their customers.
