About this program
The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration funds deployment of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure through the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program (CFDA 20.220), authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with $2.5 billion appropriated over five years.
The program operates two distinct funding tracks: the Community Charging and Alternative Fueling Grants track, which supports charging infrastructure at community sites, and the Charging and Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants track, which funds corridor-level deployment. Eligible fuels include electricity, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas. Eligible applicants are broad: states and political subdivisions, metropolitan planning organizations, units of local government, special purpose districts and public authorities with transportation functions, Indian Tribes, U.S. Territories, state or local authorities with ownership of publicly accessible transportation facilities (Community Program only), and groups comprising any of these entities.
