Award Spotlight: $521M Awarded Through Round 1 of DOT's Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grant Program

The Biden-Harris Administration has announced $521 million in grants from the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grant Program to expand electric vehicle (EV) and alternative-fueling infrastructure. This funding, provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will support EV charging and alternative-fueling projects in 29 states, eight Federally Recognized Tribes, and Washington, D.C. It includes the construction of over 9,200 EV charging ports and significant investment in fast charging along major corridors.

The funding aims to enhance EV infrastructure, especially in disadvantaged communities, with 40% allocated to such areas. Projects include installing EV chargers in Milwaukee, community chargers on the Sioux Reservation, and various initiatives in Boston, Cincinnati, and Detroit to increase accessibility and support environmental justice.

The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation will assist with planning and implementation to ensure effective infrastructure development. This investment is expected to create jobs, reduce transportation costs, and improve air quality.
