Electric Vehicle Charging Station Grants The Department of Housing and Community Development in partnership with the Agency of Natural resources is pleased to announce a third round of approximately $44,000 in Electric Vehicle Charging Station Grants for Designated Downtowns and Village Centers. They are pleased to extend this funding opportunity to include designated village centers previously only available to designated downtowns. This is a great bonus incentive for village centers looking to install electric vehicle charging stations.

Any municipality with a Designated Downtown or Designated Village Center may apply for funding and must be submitted by the municipality. The maximum grant amount is $25,000 with a 25% match requirement that can be cash or in-kind. 

Priority consideration will be given to high priority areas that do not currently have an existing or planned EVCS in the designated downtown or village center and/or geographic location is close to major highways/roads.
