WYOMING - EV STAKEHOLDER UPDATE: FEDERAL EV CHARGING GRANT NOW AVAILABLE FOR GOV AGENCIES

Hello Wyoming EV Stakeholders,

This competitive federal grant aims to "strategically deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure."

The grant is divided to two categories:

• Community Charging and Fueling Grants (Community Program) - a great opportunity for communities that don't qualify for NEVI funding at this time
• Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants (Corridor Program) - as a reminder, the AFCs in Wyoming are the three interstates: I-25, I-80 and I-90

NOTE: Eligible applicants include governmental agencies like 

• a state or political subdivision of a state 
• a metropolitan planning organization
• a unit of local government
• a special purpose district or public authority with a transportation function, including a port authority
• an Indian tribe
• a territory of the United States 
• an authority, agency, or instrumentality of, or an entity owned by, one or more entities described above
• a group of entities described above
• (For Community Program grants only - a state or local authority with ownership of publicly accessible transportation facilities is also eligible)
