Grants & Funding

Ensure that National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) and Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) grant funds are deployed efficiently with data-driven traffic insights.

Equity Analysis

Layer on metrics to optimize for equity, including prioritizing disadvantaged communities and environmental justice.

Site selection optimization

Evaluate existing traffic demand to pinpoint strategic locations for electric vehicle charging locations that capture accelerating market demand.

Grid & EV fleet capacity planning

Forecast future EV demand across your region to determine where and when substation upgrades may be needed.

Delivering a sustainable transportation solution for NEVI plans through equitable EV investments

Read press release:
The challenge

For the rapid expansion of EV infrastructure under the NEVI program, Nevada DOT was looking to use a modern and informed data analytical approach. Jacobs and StreetLight were tasked to plan a resilient network and help NDOT prioritize investments to optimize benefits for their communities.

Data-based solution

NDOT was able to analyze travel patterns, traffic volumes, trip purposes, and demographics along interstates and U.S. routes broken out by day and week. Insights informed decisions to support public outreach and stakeholder engagement, promoting equitable distribution of funds and meeting current Justice40 requirements. This process validated the proposed improvements and informed preliminary assumptions about investment priorities.

StreetLight EV Charger Deployment: At a glance

Get started
Traffic demand

Get traffic volumes by day part to highlight the optimal sites for EV chargers.

Demographics

View historical aggregate demographics including income, household status, and trip purpose to capture the profile of current drivers at sites.

Origin-Destination and Routing

Identify O-D travel patterns and top routes of vehicles to specific sites to determine where traffic demand is and where vehicles are coming from and going.

Dwell time and trip distances

Discover everything about the StreetLight’s EV Charger Deployment product features, benefits, and more.

How can StreetLight be used for EV grants and funding?

Grant administrators for EV planning and infrastructure grants such as NEVI are looking for proof that your proposal will accelerate electrification goals in your region effectively and equitably.

Agencies can use StreetLight’s vehicle activity data such as Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), Origin-Destination (O-D) patterns, and dwell time to understand where drivers are most likely to stop and charge, helping prioritize new charger locations. Inferred traveler demographics also assist agencies in ensuring equitable infrastructure rollout. Meanwhile, purpose-built solutions for greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement help you measure local emissions from vehicles and quantify the impact of new charging infrastructure.

Because StreetLight makes it easy to turn these metrics into compelling data visualizations, many agencies are already using StreetLight to uplevel NEVI grant proposals and other EV funding applications.

Has data from StreetLight been used in any state EV Plans?

StreetLight’s analytics have powered key EV plans across the country, and we are excited to continue to partner with many states and regions to help propel the EV revolution forward with a data-driven lens.

Some key plans include:

How can StreetLight be used for EV charger site selection?

StreetLight’s VMT, O-D, dwell time, trip length, traveler demographics, and other metrics can help agencies and businesses understand where EV drivers are most likely to stop and charge based on how far they’ve driven and how long they stop at a given location. This ensures new chargers are placed in areas where charging demand is highest, and the new infrastructure will have an equitable impact.

StreetLight also offers localized GHG emissions measurement solutions to help agencies measure the impact of new charging infrastructure and the role it plays in overall climate goals, prioritizing charger locations that are most likely to help reduce jurisdictional emissions.
