CFI Grants: Strategies to Unlock $1.3 Billion for EV Charging Network Operators
Join policymakers and industry experts to explore eligibility, application criteria, and best practices for successful CFI grant proposals.
Historic Funding Opportunity for EV Charging Infrastructure
The Biden-Harris administration has announced the single largest grant funding opportunity for U.S. EV charging infrastructure, amounting to $1.3 billion. CFI complements the $5 billion NEVI program for a nationwide network of high-speed EV chargers along interstate highways. While NEVI focuses on building chargers along major travel corridors, the CFI program will fund chargers in urban and rural communities and multi-family housing.
In the scramble for submitting applications by the Aug 28, 2024 deadline, we’ve gathered key stakeholders and industry to explain how your network can secure funding.
