Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program
The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program is a federal initiative aimed at accelerating the deployment of publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative fueling infrastructure across the United States. The program, a crucial component of the Biden-Harris Administration's broader strategy to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is designed to ensure that every American, regardless of location, has access to convenient, reliable, and affordable EV charging and fueling options.
Program Objectives:
-
Expansion of EV Infrastructure: The CFI program focuses on the widespread deployment of charging stations, particularly in underserved and rural areas, to build a nationwide network that supports the growing demand for electric vehicles.
-
Promotion of Alternative Fuels: In addition to EV charging, the program also supports infrastructure for alternative fuels like hydrogen, propane, and natural gas, promoting a diverse energy mix and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
-
Environmental and Economic Impact: The program is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and create jobs in the clean energy sector by stimulating investments in green infrastructure.
-
Equity and Accessibility: Ensuring that the benefits of electrification and clean energy are available to all, the program prioritizes projects that serve disadvantaged communities, promote equity, and improve access to clean transportation options.
Key Components:
-
Public Charging and Fueling Sites: The program funds the development of publicly accessible EV charging and fueling stations along key corridors, in urban and rural areas, and in locations that are underserved by existing infrastructure.
-
Private Sector Partnerships: To maximize the impact of the program, the CFI encourages partnerships between public entities, private companies, and non-profit organizations to leverage additional funding and expertise.
-
Innovation and Technology: The program supports the integration of advanced technologies, such as smart charging, renewable energy sources, and grid management systems, to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the infrastructure.
Funding and Eligibility:
-
Eligible Entities: State and local governments, metropolitan planning organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities are eligible to apply for CFI grants. Collaboration with private sector partners is strongly encouraged.
-
Grant Awards: The CFI program offers significant funding opportunities for infrastructure projects, with grants awarded on a competitive basis. Projects are evaluated based on their potential to reduce emissions, enhance accessibility, and contribute to the development of a national charging and fueling network.
