WILL REQUIRE UPTIME REPORTING
Because federal NEVI funds will be distributed by each individual state, the rules for uptime
reporting will vary by location. Simply facilitating 97% uptime of chargers may not be enough,
as most states have indicated that regular reporting of uptime will be required. The guidelines
require NEVI funded projects to collect, maintain, and submit a quarterly report with a look at
the last 12 months up uptime on “per minute” level, as well as these other metrics:

REQUIRE UPTIME MAINTENANCE PLANNING
A minimum five-year maintenance plan on ensuring equipment uptime is another
requirement to receive NEVI funding. By requiring a five-year maintenance
plan, the NEVI guidelines make it clear that entities awarded with this funding
will be held responsible for ensuring the investment is sustained into the future.
Businesses who take advantage of the funding will need to make sure they have a
cost-effective monitoring and maintenance plan in place for the long-term.

It is not yet clear how uptime will be
monitored and enforced, but it is clear that
CPOs receiving funding will need to be able
to validate and report on their 97% uptime
requirements.
