    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Transportation shall update the 
guidance for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula 
Program established in paragraph (2) under the heading ``Department of 
Transportation--Federal Highway Administration--Highway Infrastructure 
Program'' in title VIII of division J of the Infrastructure Investment 
and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) to specify that a State may certify 
and the Secretary may determine that a State is fully built out with 
electric vehicle charging infrastructure which is located more than 1 
mile from the highway, as long as that electric vehicle charging 
infrastructure was selected considering the potential economic benefit 
to communities and small businesses along an alternative fuel corridor.
    (b) Alternative Fuel Corridor Defined.--In this Act, the term 
``alternative fuel corridor'' means a national electric vehicle 
charging and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling corridor 
designated by the Secretary under section 151 of title 23, United 
States Code.
