per port, at four or more networked DC fast ports charging at once, is the minimum for NEVI stations serving designated corridors

Draft a NEPA categorical exclusion memo or short environmental assessment for a federally funded project, in the agency's format. Free to read.
Questions
Yes. FHWA-funded projects follow FHWA's NEPA rules, and many small ones fit a categorical exclusion, such as work entirely within an existing operational right-of-way, or projects receiving less than $6 million in federal funds (adjusted yearly). Unusual circumstances can still require more study.
At least four network-connected ports able to charge four vehicles at once. On designated corridors, each DC fast port must deliver up to 150 kW simultaneously and have a permanently attached CCS Type 1 connector.
Section 106 starts with the agency deciding whether the project is an undertaking that could affect historic properties. If it is a type of activity with no potential to cause effects, the agency has no further Section 106 obligations.
