The Bay Area Air Quality Management District, which regulates the stationary sources of air pollution in the nine California counties, will provide $7 million in funds to support the buying and installation of electric vehicle charging stations and is seeking grant funding applications from public agencies and private businesses, according to a pleasantonweekly.com report.

The funds will recoup up to 80% of EV charging costs in their Charge! Program and meet the Bay Area's goals of having 90% of all vehicles electric by 2050.

Facilities in workspaces, transit parking lots, multi-unit residences and areas along major roadways are eligible to receive grants.

Applications will be accepted through March 1, 2022.
