What is Buy America compliance?
The Buy America program is a federal initiative designed to support American manufacturing by ensuring that federally funded infrastructure projects, including EV charging networks, utilize domestically produced materials. Specifically, for EV charging infrastructure, the program mandates that certain materials and components be manufactured within the United States to qualify for federal funding, including NEVI. This requirement promotes job creation, supports American industries, and strengthens the domestic supply chain, contributing to a resilient and innovative clean energy sector. By integrating Buy America standards into EV infrastructure projects, the program encourages U.S. leadership in sustainable transportation and clean energy technology.
Buy America Requirements for EV Charging Infrastructure:
- EV chargers must be manufactured in the United States.
- Key components, including steel and iron, must be sourced domestically.
- Projects must meet specific U.S. content thresholds as defined by federal guidelines.
- Compliance is required for eligibility to receive federal funding for EV infrastructure projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buy America compliance means infrastructure projects using federal funds must use domestically produced iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials, with this compliance applying to domestically manufactured infrastructure and related equipment like EV charger installations and components.
The new Build America, Buy America Act (2021) expanded Buy America provisions to all federally-funded infrastructure projects, including EV charging stations, requiring domestic sourcing of materials and manufacturing.
Exceptions to Buy America provisions can be granted when domestic materials are unavailable, unreasonably expensive (25%+ higher than foreign), or when applying the requirements would be inconsistent with public interest. Reasonably priced, domestically manufactured EV charger installations and components are available.
EV chargers are eligible for federal tax credits under various programs, but to qualify for federal funding, they must generally be Buy America compliant unless granted a waiver.
