California announces $55 million in funding for EV charging
While the Federal focus on EV funding has shifted, California looks to a new incentive program to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging.
The Fast Charge California Project will rebate up to 100 percent of the installation costs for EV fast chargers, as part of the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP). Its has an application window from August 5, to October 29, 2025. Eligible sites must be available to the public and funding will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to ready-to-build projects. CALeVIP is being administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy, a national nonprofit focused on expanding clean transportation.
“The California Energy Commission continues to analyze state needs to develop funding opportunities that help address all of California’s electric vehicle charging needs,” Harrison Reilly, an information officer with the CEC media and public communications office said via email. “This includes ensuring equitable access throughout the state.”
