Louisiana State EV Charging Infrastructure Plan
Louisiana will receive approximately 73 million dollars for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure through President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) plans to administer the deployment of electric vehicle charging station infrastructure throughout the State.
Powering Vehicles with Electricity
Electric vehicles (EVs) use electricity as a primary or secondary power source instead of conventional motor fuels like gasoline or diesel. Using electricity stored in a battery to power an electric motor has natural advantages over the internal combustion engine, including quieter operation, zero tailpipe emissions, instant acceleration, and significantly cheaper operating and maintenance costs. Check out the Alternative Fuels Data Center Hybrid and Plug-In Electric Vehicles Page to learn about the variety of vehicle applications, charging levels and more.
Electric Charging Stations
Many plug-in electric vehicle owners choose to do the majority of their charging at home (or at fleet facilities, in the case of fleets). Some employers offer access to charging at the workplace. Charging infrastructure is rapidly expanding, providing drivers with the convenience, range, and confidence to meet more of their transportation needs with plug-in electric vehicles. Need help finding chargers on the go? Google Maps now shows nearby charger locations when searching for EV Chargers. Or use the Alternative Fuel Station Locator website to find chargers near you.
