An EV charging station near New Castle is among 54 projects being funded in 35 Pennsylvania Counties, according to an announcement made Monday by Governor Shapiro’s office.

 Tesla incorporated is getting $220,898 for a charging station at the Sheetz in New Castle along Exit 13 on Interstate 376.

Four federally compliant charging ports will be funded at each charging location with 216 total funded charging ports.

The project is included in the first round of conditional awards for federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure funding.

The $33.8 million federal investment is part of the $171.5 million PennDOT will receive and distribute for electric vehicle charging infrastructure over five years through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The projects can begin after successful completion of a National Environmental Policy Act public involvement process and agreements with each recipient are executed. Some projects may begin as early as late 2023.
