California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP)
California Energy Commission (CEC)
What does it fund?
Implemented by the Center for Sustainable Energy, the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) 2.0 offers rebates for publicly available, high-powered (150 kW or greater) DC fast chargers deployed at eligible site types within California.
Who is eligible for funds?
Funding is open to public and private entities in California.
How does this program provide benefits to priority populations?
CALeVIP 2.0 funds zero-emission vehicle infrastructure projects, enabling the use of clean vehicles which emit less emissions than comparable conventionally fueled vehicles. The program may reduce criteria air pollutant and toxic air contaminant emissions within disadvantaged and low-income communities by funding zero-emission vehicle infrastructure in these communities.
At least 50% of CALeVIP 2.0 project funding must be for charging installations in low-income and/or disadvantaged communities. The program also provides economic benefits by supporting jobs for manufacturing, installation, maintenance of zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, and by reducing transportation costs relative to conventionally fueled vehicles.
How do I access funds?
Applications are submitted via an online platform located on the program website. The website has webpages dedicated for each funding window, detailing the requirements, eligibility, timelines, FAQs, and helpful information for potential applicants. Once an application is approved, recipients manage their project and load all required documents to their application dashboard, via the program website.
Funding timeline
To date, CALeVIP 2.0 has launched two distinct funding windows. A third funding window will be available in 2025. Potential applicants are encouraged to sign up for the CALeVIP email subscriber list located on the program website for funding announcement details.
