Whiteville Selected for New Public Electric Vehicle Fast-Charging Station
Whiteville, NC has been selected as one of four locations in North Carolina to receive a new public electric vehicle fast-charging station, funded by the state's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.
Wilmington, NC, September 25, 2026 — Whiteville, North Carolina, has been chosen as one of four municipalities across the state to host a new public electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging station. This initiative is part of North Carolina’s broader strategy to expand EV infrastructure, supported by federal funding.
The selection of Whiteville marks a significant step in increasing access to electric vehicle charging facilities in the region. The new station will be established through the state’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. This program aims to build out a national network of EV chargers, ensuring that EV drivers can travel long distances with confidence, according to federal guidelines.
While Whiteville is among the four chosen locations in North Carolina, details regarding the specific timeline for construction, the exact site within Whiteville, or the name of the contractor responsible for installation were not provided in the available information. The funding for these stations comes directly from the NEVI program, which is dedicated to deploying a reliable and accessible charging infrastructure across the United States.
The NEVI program is designed to ensure that EV charging stations are located every 50 miles along major highways and at least once every 100 miles in rural or other areas, providing consistent charging access for drivers nationwide. The expansion into Whiteville is expected to benefit residents, visitors, and local businesses by supporting the growing adoption of electric vehicles and contributing to cleaner transportation options.
Further details on the project’s commencement and completion dates are anticipated as the program progresses. The selection process highlights North Carolina’s commitment to embracing sustainable transportation technologies and meeting the evolving needs of EV drivers.
