On February 14, the California Energy Commission (CEC) approved a $1.9 billion investment plan to accelerate progress on the state’s electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen refueling goals. These investments will help deploy infrastructure for light, medium, and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) across California,
Here are some highlights from the CEC's announcement:
This funding is in addition to the $1.8B already invested in ZEV infrastructure.
50% of this additional $1.9B is targeted to benefit priority populations.
The funds are slated for:
40,000 new chargers statewide
Light-duty charging infrastructure ($657.6M)
Zero-Emissions Truck and Bus infrastructure ($1.02B)
Emerging opportunities ($46M)
Zero-Emissions Vehicle Workplace development ($5m)
Zero-Emission Port Infrastructure ($130M)
These funds will be for implementation through competitive grants over the next 4 years.
Projects will include direct incentive and rebate programs for businesses, non-profit organizations, tribes and public agencies.
