The Biden-Harris Administration announced $521 million in grants under the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) grant program to continue building electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in communities across the country. The CFI grants will fund electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in 29 states, eight federally recognized tribes, and the District of Columbia. This includes the construction of more than 9,200 electric vehicle charging points, with the majority of the investment, $321 million, going to 41 projects to expand all types of electric vehicle infrastructure in communities, including Level 2 and DC fast chargers.
The remaining $200 million is earmarked for rapid charging projects along designated alternative fuel corridors. The Joint Office for Energy and Transportation (JOET) supports the successful construction of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, providing technical assistance in planning and implementing a national network of electric vehicle chargers and zero-emission fuel infrastructure.
Examples of projects include $15 million for the City of Milwaukee to install electric vehicle chargers at 53 locations across the city, and $3.9 million to install publicly accessible community chargers on the Sioux Reservation in North Dakota.
