Charge! is a grant program that helps offset a portion of the cost to purchase and install new publicly available chargers at qualifying facilities, and private chargers to serve Workplaces (on a case-by-case basis) and Multi-Family Housing locations within the Air District’s jurisdiction. The chargers must serve light-duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 8,500 pounds or lighter. Funding is available to homeowner associations, non-profits, public agencies, private businesses, and tribes through a competitive solicitation and is paid to Grantees/Project Sponsors on a reimbursement basis after the chargers are placed into service. Grant awards are based on the anticipated electricity that a charging port can deliver to EVs, and hence its potential to shift drivers away from internal combustion engine vehicles and reduce both petroleum use and air pollution. The Air District reserves the right to modify this solicitation at its sole discretion.
The Charge! Program is funded through the Air District’s Transportation Fund for Clean Air Regional Fund, which provides grants to improve air quality within the nine-county Bay Area by reducing emissions of pollutants from on-road vehicles. This program is also funded by the United States Department of Transportation’s Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program, made available by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to strategically deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure and other alternative fueling infrastructure. The Charge! Program may include additional funding sources as available.
