The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant
Program (CFI Program) application submission deadline has
been extended to June 13, 2023. The new
application due date is posted on the FHWA
website and on
Grants.gov.
The CFI Program is a new 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, urban and rural areas alike, in addition to
along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs).
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:
Community Charging and Fueling Grants (Community Program);
and
Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants (Corridor Program).
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $2.5 billion over five
years for this program. This first round of funding makes $700
million from Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 funding available to
strategically deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging
infrastructure and other fueling infrastructure projects in urban
and rural communities in publicly accessible locations, including
downtown areas and local neighborhoods, particularly in
underserved and disadvantaged communities.
