National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure — CFDA 20.277

$860,977,708.10 in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (CFDA 20.277). The listing carries 353 awards, 35 recipients, and a 35-jurisdiction geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of chargers installed, ports energized, or corridor miles. Thirty-five recipients matching 35 jurisdictions is a state-level formula fingerprint: one named payee class per coded place, not a vendor directory of charging networks.

NEVI obligations at $860,977,708.10

USAspending.gov records $860,977,708.10 in obligations under CFDA 20.277. Three hundred fifty-three awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2,438,775 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical construction invoice and not a cost per charging stall. Other transportation electrification listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $860,977,708.10.

The assistance-listing title is NATIONAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE. CFDA 20.277 is the identifier on the USAspending assistance extract. Combining 20.277 with formula highway or alternative-fuel codes would invent a combined EV-infrastructure total this packet does not contain. Read the $860,977,708.10 as the obligation book tagged 20.277 only.

35 recipients aligned with 35 jurisdictions

Thirty-five recipients share 353 awards, or about 10.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $860,977,708.10 evenly would assign about $24.6 million per recipient. That density is a multi-year state-formula pattern: a modest named-organization headcount carrying many assistance rows. The packet does not list the 35. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of charging-site hosts.

Thirty-five jurisdictions in the geographic count match the 35-recipient headcount. That 1:1 pairing is the tell for a listing that codes primarily to states and territories rather than to thousands of local installers. Place-of-performance amounts still follow project awards, not equal shares. Charger maps live elsewhere.

Award rows are not a charger census

Among transportation listings, 20.277 is a mid-row file: 353 awards against 35 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of NEVI projects” and a worse proxy for ports in service. Recipients (35) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (353) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report stalls built, kilowatts delivered, or corridor designations. Citing 353 as chargers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $860,977,708.10 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus charging-network outlays

The $860,977,708.10 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure awards — are not in the packet. A formula file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow construction invoices on a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Use CFDA 20.277 to size this charging-infrastructure listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as an operational dashboard of live chargers. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 20.277.

What the 20.277 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a station inventory, not a utility interconnection log, and not a wait-time report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $860,977,708.10. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 353 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 35 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal corridor shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to state DOTs or their subrecipients.

CFDA 20.277’s 353 awards spread $860,977,708.10 across 35 recipients and 35 jurisdictions.

Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

A researcher sizing NEVI against other CFDA 20 transportation listings should keep the codes separate. The 35-recipient headcount matching 35 jurisdictions is the formula fingerprint on this extract, not a vendor list of charging networks. Quote $860,977,708.10 as the USAspending obligation stock for 20.277 only. Do not fold highway formula or alternative-fuel codes into that figure. About 10.1 award records per recipient is the density story on 353 awards. Outlays, stall counts, and corridor designations remain outside the packet.
