The Biden-Harris Administration today opened applications for the
Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility
Accelerator which will provide up to $100 million in Federal
funding to repair and replace existing but non-operational,
electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
These targeted investments will complement hundreds of billions
in private sector investment, support good paying jobs across the
country installing, maintaining, and repairing EV infrastructure,
and make our current charging network more reliable.
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula
Program, a $5 billion program created by the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law and administered by the Federal Highway
Administration to help states build out EV charging sites,
stipulates a 10% set-aside for grants to States and localities
that require additional assistance to strategically deploy
electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The first round of
funding will focus on improving the reliability of the current
network by repairing or replacing existing EV charging
infrastructure.
Eligible applicants and projects for the EV Reliability and
Accessibility Accelerator are outlined in a
Notice of Funding Opportunity published today. Applications
are due by November 13, 2023.
