怀俄明州终于动用联邦充电桩资金：公开招标私营企业，最高补贴八成成本
怀俄明州交通部近日宣布，正式向私营企业征集提案，在全州建设电动车充电站，联邦资金可覆盖最高八成的建设成本。这是该州自 2022 年获得"国家电动车基础设施"（NEVI）计划拨款以来，首次真正启动这笔资金的使用。
怀俄明州以化石燃料产业著称，对电动车一度态度冷淡：在拜登政府时期，该州甚至拒绝了约 2700 万美元的拨款，理由是"州际公路每 50 英里设一个充电桩"的规定过于死板。如今在特朗普政府放宽规则后，州政府可将充电桩布局到偏远的乡村公路上，项目才得以推进。
州交通部总工程师基思·富尔顿表示，旅游业是怀俄明州三大经济支柱之一，在乡村地区合理布局充电桩有助于缓解电动车驾驶者的"里程焦虑"。非盈利组织"黄石-提顿清洁城市"负责人艾丽西娅·考克斯则希望，除了 80 号州际公路沿线，里弗顿、科迪以及黄石国家公园周边也能建起充电站，让充电设施覆盖真正需要的地方，而不只集中在人口密集区。

Wyoming Finally Moves to Spend Federal EV-Charger Money, Covering Up to 80% of Costs
The Wyoming Department of Transportation has announced a request for proposals from private businesses to build electric-vehicle charging stations statewide, with federal funds covering up to 80% of construction costs. It is the first real use of the state's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) funding since the award in 2022.
Wyoming, known for its fossil-fuel industry, was once cool toward EVs: during the Biden administration, the state even rejected about $27 million in grants, calling the rule requiring a charger every 50 miles on interstates too rigid. After the Trump administration loosened the rules, allowing chargers on remote rural highways, the project could move forward.
State Engineer Keith Fulton said tourism is one of Wyoming's three economic pillars and that well-placed rural chargers would ease "range anxiety" for EV drivers. Alicia Cox, head of the nonprofit Yellowstone-Teton Clean Cities, hopes chargers will reach Riverton, Cody, and areas around Yellowstone National Park — not just population centers.
