Details:
The intent is to support a healthy environment for all Minnesotans and achieve significant emissions reductions across the state, especially in those communities most impacted by vehicle pollution. These fast-charging corridors along major roadways will allow eventual travel by EV drivers over long distances throughout the state, making it feasible for more Minnesotans to drive electric vehicles.
Funding Information
- The MPCA anticipates awarding a total of approximately $1.89 million.
- The maximum amount available is 80% of project costs, up to $150,000 for total project costs per 150 kilowatt (kW) dual-port fast charging station. Each charging station will be installed in a public place. Regardless of whether installation is on government-owned property or non-government owned property, charging stations will be accessible by users 24 hours per day, seven days per week for no less than 355 days per year. A minimum of (13) 150-kW dual-port charging stations are anticipated to be installed through this program.
Eligibility Criteria
For-profit, nonprofit, and public entities, including state, local, and Tribal governments. While multi-organizational collaboration is allowed, no single entity may be a part of multiple proposals. If multiple organizations apply together, one must be designated a Lead to receive funding (only one name as applicant). Applicants can apply for as many charging sites as desired but can only be awarded up to 5 sites.
