EGLE grants add more than 200 EV charging stations at multifamily properties

The first two rounds of the Clean Fuel and Charging Infrastructure (CFCI) Program have invested more than $1.84 million in 31 multifamily properties across Michigan for 201 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. 

The grants expand charging access for residents throughout Michigan and move the state closer to the MI Healthy Climate Plan (MHCP) goal of sufficient infrastructure to support 2 million EVs in Michigan by 2030. Awardees are listed below. The MHCP is Michigan’s roadmap to a healthy, prosperous, carbon-neutral future for all Michiganders by 2050. 

Michigan launched the one-time $30 million state-funded CFCI Program in 2024. Funding supports EV charging stations, with at least 40% of allocations going to disadvantaged communities. The program’s first four rounds – two announced and two expected to be finalized soon – address multifamily housing, where residents typically lack at-home charging options.  

A newly revised CFCI request for proposals (RFP) extends the focus on multifamily housing with $5 million dedicated to support deployment of nonpublic Level 2 AC charging stations at multifamily properties. 

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has expanded CFCI eligibility from existing properties to new multifamily housing developments and broadened the applicant base to encourage participation from a wider range of property owners, developers, and organizations. These changes are intended to integrate EV-ready infrastructure into housing projects from the start and to make program participation more accessible and inclusive. 

Individual grant awards are capped at $300,000, and applicants must match 30% of the total requested funds unless the project is located in an environmental justice community. The grants can be applied to: 

• Installing nonpublic charging and fueling stations for fleets and public transit systems. 

• Developing charging and fueling infrastructure for multifamily housing units. 

• Closing gaps in fast-charging networks outside designated alternative fuel corridors. 

Eligible projects should focus on the deployment of Level 2 AC EV charging stations at new or existing multifamily housing properties. All eligible applicants must provide a Unique Entity Identifier number from the System for Award Management website. 

Any organization may apply. Visit the CFCI Program webpage for details including the multifamily RFP, application, and sample grant agreement. Applications will be accepted and processed first come, first served until funding is exhausted. Funds must be expended by Sept. 30, 2027. 

EGLE expects to release an additional RFP focused on public charging in the coming months.
