Details:

In January 2024, the Healey-Driscoll administration provided American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to MassCEC to develop a program that will improve access to affordable EV infrastructure for residents in multi-unit dwellings. The Program aims to increase the supply of overnight curbside parking with an emphasis on positive impacts for Low Income Disadvantaged Communities (LIDAC). In addition to increasing charging station access, MassCEC, in close collaboration with the MA Department of Energy Resources (DOER), plans to pilot innovative On-Street Charging technologies, models, and ownership structures. Through this program, MassCEC intends to demonstrate successful deployments of innovative On-Street Charging options in order to promote wide-scale adoption across the Commonwealth.

Through this Program MassCEC aims to: 

• Increase access to On-Street Charging options and reduce barriers to EV adoption for LIDACs in MA; 
• Pilot innovative On-Street Charging models that can be replicated and scaled across the Commonwealth; 
• Develop resources for municipalities in MA to implement On-Street Charging solutions independently; and 
• Ensure that small and diverse MA-based businesses are included in the Program and meaningfully compensated to foster MA workforce development.
