Illinois awards $12.6M for 87 EV charging stations
June 6, 2023
EV charging stations will be built at 87 locations in Illinois under a $12.6 million Illinois EPA award to 10 applicants, according to a press release.
The grants will fund 348 new direct current fast charging ports at 87 locations throughout Illinois.
The awards are based on a notice of funding opportunity issued in the fall of 2022 seeking publicly accessible locations in the three priority areas outlined in the Volkswagen Beneficiary Mitigation Plan.
The grants were made possible after the Pritzker Administration committed to focus Illinois' remaining VW Settlement allocation on electric transportation and infrastructure.
The Illinois EPA is funding stations at publicly accessible locations (shopping centers, retail stores, gas stations, hotels, etc.) in the three priority areas outlined in the VW BMP. Grant awards in the priority areas include 42 sites in "environmental justice areas."
The sites and recipients are listed on the Illinois EPA website.
