Connecticut's Charging Ahead Plan outlines a statewide strategy to expand public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, serving as an update for Fiscal Year 2026. The plan focuses on a phased deployment, initially building out NEVI-compliant charging stations along Alternative Fuel Corridors (Phase 1), and subsequently expanding into community charging areas with limited existing EV fast-charging opportunities (Phase 2). Key strategic pillars include ensuring compliance with federal regulations, robust community engagement targeting disadvantaged and Tribal communities, and implementing stringent physical security and cybersecurity measures to safeguard the EV charging network.
