Nxu, Inc., a domestic technology company creating innovative EV charging and energy storage solutions for the infrastructure we need to power our electrified future, is under contract to purchase a parcel of land in Barstow, Calif., a key location in California’s NEVI corridor 7. Barstow, situated where Interstate 15 and Interstate 40 intersect, is perfectly located in a major highway corridor, making it ideal for Nxu’s pursuit of electrifying high-demand highway routes with reliable and consistent charging solutions.
National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) corridor 7 is one of the six corridor groups included in round 1 of the California Energy Commission’s NEVI Formula Program, which has announced the availability of up to $40,500,000 in grant funds for projects that will strategically deploy high-powered, direct-current fast charger electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
