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, along designated highways, interstates, and major roadways.
The CFI grants, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, 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:
$321 million designated for 41 projects that expand all types of EV infrastructure in communities, including Level 2 and DC fast chargers.
$200 million for 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.
This round of funding supports the Administration’s goal that 40% of the overall benefits of federal investments flow into disadvantaged communities, with over half of the funding going to sites located in disadvantaged communities. Investing in these communities will create jobs, reduce transportation costs, and mitigate air pollution that causes asthma and heart disease.
Louisiana's "Fat City Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Project" in Jefferson Parish was awarded $5,647,300.00 for an EV Charging Project.
