The California Energy Commission (CEC) will launch a new $55-million funding round in July 2025 to support the installation of DC fast charging stations in California.
The funding will cover up to 100% of the costs to deploy EV fast chargers, with a maximum funding per charging port of either $55,000 or $100,000 based on the power level.
Applications for the funding will be open to EV charging service providers and businesses representing various locations such as convenience stores, gas stations, retail centers, parking lots, and hotels.
Priority will be given to charging projects in tribal, disadvantaged, and low-income communities.
