I hadn't seen this until now, but FHWA announced the Round 6 EV corridor designations. This is important because corridor designation is part of the process for states to get federal funds (including those from the bipartisan infrastructure law's NEVI program). The "ready" corridors already meet the standards but can get additional investment for improvement. The "pending" corridors have a plan for getting to ready status. Quick version of the requirements for designation as an EV corridor under Round 6: stations no further apart than 50 miles, at least 4 CCS chargers per station, at least 150 kWh per charger.

Here's their GIS map of Rounds 1-6: https://hepgis.fhwa.dot.gov/fhwagis...n|Electric+Vehicle+(EV-Round+1,2,3,4,5+and+6)
I'm personally disappointed that NC didn't designate US-441 from GA to NC. That's an important corridor for accessing GSMNP and the southern edge of the BRP. Thankfully Rivian should be doing RAN stations in that area!
edit: it looks like the map filter isn’t working right on my iPhone, so it ends up showing the entire National Highway System. That’s quite annoying. Maybe these links to the text corridor designations will work: (these are just the round 6 changes, btw. Links on the left will show you previous rounds)
