The Biden Administration announced $623 million in grants today made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program. These grants will fund 47 EV charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure projects in 22 states and Puerto Rico—including the construction of approximately 7,500 EV charging ports—accelerating President Biden’s goal of building a national network of 500,000 EV chargers.
The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) will continue to support the CFI program by providing grant awardees with technical assistance when implementing their funds. The CFI program complements the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program funding the installation of EV chargers along the nation’s highways. Combined with more than $150 billion in investments from private companies since President Biden took office, these federal efforts are ushering in a new era where everyone will be able to choose to ride or drive electric.
