The first EV charging station in Texas funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program has opened along Interstate 27 in the rural community of Happy, Texas.

Located in the Texas Panhandle region, the site bolsters EV charging in west Texas and supports interstate travel. The station has four ports, each with a maximum charging speed of 180 kW. Each has both CCS and J3400 connectors.

“The addition of the new NEVI charging station will increase rural charging accessibility and enable uninterrupted EV travel along key travel routes,” said Gabe Klein, Executive Director of the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation.
