State-Owned EV Charging Sites
As part of Rhode Island’s broader electric vehicle infrastructure strategy, the State is actively investing in the deployment of EV charging stations at publicly accessible, state-owned properties.
These sites are designed to support a reliable and accessible backbone charging network, helping to ensure coverage across key locations throughout the state, including high-traffic public facilities and transportation hubs.
State-owned charging infrastructure complements the NEVI Community Approach, creating a balanced strategy that combines state-led deployment with public-private partnerships to expand access to EV charging statewide.
Locations may include sites that are operational, under construction, or in development.
Where Charging is Being Deployed
Charging stations are being installed at a range of state-owned locations, including:
- Park & Ride facilities
- Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) locations
- State office buildings and public service facilities
- Public safety and environmental facilities
Current Projects & Status
Projects are currently underway at several state-owned locations, including:
- Cranston DMV
- Stedman Government Center (Wakefield)
- Rhode Island State Police facility (Scituate)
Additional sites include:
- Newport Park & Ride (expected to be operational by Summer 2026)
Several locations will be under construction over the summer and into the fall, with additional state-owned sites currently in development.
Looking Ahead
OER will continue to evaluate and prioritize state-owned properties to maximize geographic coverage and support a consistent, reliable charging experience across Rhode Island.
