California businesses and organizations developing sites in low-income and disadvantaged communities are eligible to receive incentives for purchasing and installing EV charging stations under a $30 million project announced by the California Energy Commission, according to a press release.
The incentives are eligible for projects in 30 counties in eastern California, the Central Valley and Central Coast. Applications are due on the CALeVIP website through 5 p.m. March 10.
The Golden State Priority Project, a part of the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project, known as CALeVIP, seeks to bring fast-charging stations to disadvantaged, low-income and tribal communities. Projects that are shovel-ready will be prioritized for funding to accelerate build-out of the state's infrastructure network.
Rebates are available for purchasing and installing eligible direct current fast chargers capable of at least 150 kilowatt-hours guaranteed power output at each active connector.
