ATLANTA, GA – JLL
announced its agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation
(GDOT) to deliver a strategic plan for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
The
plan is an essential step in securing funds through the $5 billion National
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) grant program, part of the $7.5 billion grant program
package established by the 2021 bipartisan Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
Taken together, the grant programs will help
states deploy convenient, reliable, affordable and equitable public charging
infrastructure nationwide.
JLL has teamed with Ernst & Young and
HNTB and will assist the state of Georgia in developing a strategic plan to
meet NEVI guidelines, illustrating adequate EV charging coverage along
previously established Alternative Fueling Corridors and providing a strategy
for creating, upgrading and expanding installations over time.
“The NEVI grant program offers a rare opportunity for states to claim significant federal dollars, but the nature of EV infrastructure is highly complex,” said Josephine Tucker, Managing Director, Clean Energy and Infrastructure Advisory, JLL.
“As
an advisor to the state of Georgia, JLL will deliver expertise in engaging
public and private stakeholders, analyzing future demand and gauging the impact
of EV charging on future business models and implementations.
"Our
shared goal is to create a cleaner, greener economic future for Georgia and
beyond.”

Implementing the NEVI program is a critical
initiative for Georgia’s continued economic development.
"The
state is positioned as a leader in business-friendly sustainability, building
on its long-term focus on logistics, workforce and responsive government to
drive innovation and development in the electric mobility ecosystem.
“Strengthening our electric charging
network will require collaboration among government, industry, utilities and
other stakeholders at every stage of the process,” said Jannine Miller,
Director of Planning at the Georgia Department of Transportation.
“We are excited to work with JLL to put forth
our initial deployment plan and to stay abreast of emerging opportunities
through the IJIA program.”
