The Biden-Harris Administration announced $521 million in Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grant Program awards to continue the build out of electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure in communities across the country. The CFI grants will fund EV charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure in 29 states, eight Federally Recognized Tribes, and the District of Columbia. That includes the construction of more than 9,200 EV charging ports, with the majority of the investment, $321 million, designated for 41 projects that expand all types of EV infrastructure in communities, including Level 2 and DC fast chargers.
The remaining $200 million goes towards building out fast charging projects along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors. The successful build-out of EV charging infrastructure is supported by the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office), which provides technical assistance on planning and implementation of a national network of EV chargers and zero-emission fueling infrastructure.
Examples of projects include $15 million to the City of Milwaukee to install EV chargers at 53 sites citywide, and $3.9 million to install publicly accessible community chargers on the Sioux Reservation in North Dakota.
