The draft plan for Texas to spend the money allocated to it under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program is now available, https://txdot.mysocialpinpoint.com/tx_ev_plan/. The plan includes installation of over 2,500 DC fast chargers (CCS) and almost 20k L2 chargers. The chargers are to be installed over a five-year period with over 700 DC fast chargers per year being installed until the federal government's $317M allocated to Texas is gone.
Initial installations will be along Alternative Fuel Corridors but eventually DC fast chargers will be installed near EVERY county seat. Just like with F150L production, installation rate of these CCS chargers in Texas is going to ramp up with none installed in 2022 and only 272 to be installed in 2023. Considering there was not a single CCS charger in Texas just six years ago, this is phenomenal progress!
Most of the charger locations are not yet set in stone but solicitations are supposed to start in October with contracts awarded by the end of the year. The draft Texas EV Infrastructure Plan is currently open for comments. You still have a chance to influence where these chargers will be located if you jump in and post your preferences.
The next time someone complains to you that there won't be any place for them to charge up a F150L, point them to the TX EV Infrastructure Plan. After these chargers are installed, there shouldn't be anyone in Texas more than a few miles from a DC fast charger. I can't think of a more potent EV game changer than mass production of F150Ls combined with DC fast chargers popping up all over Texas
