Charge Fast Program

Learn how to apply for funding for electric vehicle charging stations.

The Air District, in partnership with the California Energy Commission, is seeking applications from public and private entities in implementing ready-to-go (“shovel-ready”) projects that will accelerate the deployment of DC (direct current) fast-charging stations at remote destinations and along transportation corridors in the Bay Area. 

The purpose of the program is to help improve and expand the access of electric vehicle drivers to the fast-charging network for regional travel. 

A paper will be published to the CEC with the information gathered.

This is a competitive solicitation. The deadline for receiving application is 4:00 PM, Monday, March 28, 2016.

Approximately $800,000 is available for the program, which will provide up to $40,000 per DC fast-charging station and bonuses for projects that incorporate solar and wind-power generation, up to 75% of total eligible costs.
