SUMMARY:Charging Forward: A Toolkit for Planning and Funding Rural Electric Mobility Infrastructure (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Transportation released a new\, free resource to help rural communities across the country take full advantage of federal funding for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The guide\, titled Charging Forward: A Toolkit for Planning and Funding Rural Electric Mobility Infrastructure\, can help connect community members\, towns\, businesses\, planning agencies\, and others with partners needed for these projects. President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes a total of $7.5 billion to build out a nationwide network of 500\,000 electric vehicle chargers. \nThe toolkit contains best practices for planning EV charging networks and tips to navigate federal funding and financing to help make these projects a reality. DOT will also be holding workshops with rural communities to utilize the toolkit most effectively. \nThis toolkit is being released in anticipation of the distribution of $7 billion in funds to accelerate the deployment of a national electric vehicle charging network from the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Of these funds\, $4.75 billion will be distributed by formula to states\, and an additional $2.5 billion will be distributed through a competitive grant program that will support innovative approaches and ensure that charger deployment meets Administration priorities such as supporting rural charging\, improving local air quality and increasing EV charging access in disadvantaged communities. Together\, this is the largest-ever U.S. investment in EV charging and will be a transformative down payment on the transition to a zero-emission future. \nThe Department will also host a webinar to present the toolkit in more detail on February 9 at 12:30 PM CST. The webinar is free to attend\, register here.
