Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program Application Deadline Extended to September 11th

The application deadline for the second round of the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant (CFI) Program has been extended from August 28 to September 11, 2024.

The CFI Program is a competitive grant program created by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to strategically deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in the places people live and work.

CFI Program investments will make modern and sustainable infrastructure accessible to all drivers of electric, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas vehicles. This program provides two funding categories of grants: (1) Community Charging and Alternative Fueling Grants (Community Program); and (2) Charging and Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants (Corridor Program).

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $2.5 billion over five years for this program to strategically deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and other alternative fueling infrastructure projects in urban and rural communities in publicly accessible locations, including downtown areas and local neighborhoods, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities.

Eligible applicants include metropolitan planning organizations, unit of local governments, and special purpose districts or public authorities with a transportation function. Each application requires a 20 percent local match.
