Details

Purpose:

To award follow-on funding support for EV charging infrastructure projects with eligible applicants that have an active award from an eligible United States federal agency. This solicitation is intended to potentially double the number of chargers installed at a military base or facility, compared to what would otherwise be installed with only the federal funding, and accelerate the adoption of zero emission vehicles statewide.

Description:

This is a first come, first served grant solicitation, with minimum requirements and certain conditions as further described in this manual.

The intent of this solicitation is to award follow-on funding support for EV charging infrastructure projects with eligible applicants that have an active award from an eligible United States federal agency. This solicitation is intended to potentially double the number of chargers installed at a military base or facility, compared to what would otherwise be installed with only the federal funding, and accelerate the adoption of zero emission vehicles statewide.
