Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grants
The Federal government issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grants program to provide competitive grants to state and local governments, metropolitan planning organizations and Indian tribes to develop charging networks in urban and rural areas, and along highways.
$350 million is available this year for each of these categories:
The Community Program provides grants up to $15M to strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure in communities. Charging infrastructure may be located on any public road, or in other publicly accessible locations.
The Corridor Program provides grants of $1M or more, with no maximum, to strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure and hydrogen fueling infrastructure along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs).
Proposals are due by June 13, 2023.
