Newark receives $590,949 federal grant for ebike and EV charging stations

The City of Newark has been awarded a $590,949 grant through the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) program. This funding will enable the installation of 11 dual-port electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and 12 e-bike charging stations, significantly advancing Newark’s commitment to sustainability and enhancing access to green transportation options.

The infrastructure added through this grant will provide up to 17 EV charging stations, allowing the City to increase the number of stations at these locations over time as demand rises.

Newark currently has five public EV chargers and no e-bike chargers. This project will more than triple the City’s EV charging capacity while introducing e-bike charging infrastructure for the first time, ensuring residents and visitors have access to modern, sustainable transportation resources. The new charging stations will be strategically located at downtown municipal lots, Curtis Mill Park, Phillips Park, and the George Wilson Center. As a contingency, the Newark Reservoir/Preston’s Playground has been identified as a backup location should any of the primary sites prove infeasible.

The city expects the first chargers will be installed in early 2026, with the rest up sometime in 2027.
