The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has selected Weston & Sampson and Rivermoor Energy to develop the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI)’s ultra-fast EV charging stations in Massachusetts.

The MassDOT NEVI initiative will add ultra-fast EV charging facilities at least every 50 miles and within one mile of highway exits and entrances across the state’s Interstate highways and state routes classified as federal Alternative Fuel Corridors.

Charging developments will be open publicly to all drivers, and each fast-charging development will have four or more 150 kW+ charging ports. The companies will also provide value-added systems customized for each development, such as solar energy, energy storage, and green infrastructure appropriate for site-specific conditions. They will offer in-house expertise across project planning, utility interconnection, engineering, permitting, development, construction, ownership, financing, management and operations.

Rivermoor Energy and Weston & Sampson have previously installed regional, town-wide, and city-wide EV charging systems in the state, including development advisory services for the City of Boston’s city-wide curbside EV charging initiative, planning and development of the Town of Chatham’s Main Street EV charging solution, installation of Belmont Light’s EV fast charging in Belmont’s town center and the Town of Deerfield’s public EV charging development.

“The ultra-fast EV charging solutions that our team is developing will deliver fast charging speeds, enabling drivers to get back on the road with a full charge in as little as 20 minutes,” said John H. Tourtelotte, Managing Director of Rivermoor Energy. “Let’s remove obstacles to EV adoption, turn range anxiety into ancient history and make fast charging ubiquitous.”
