Funding Opportunities
Securing funding is critical to the success of efforts to deploy a network of electric vehicle chargers, zero-emission fueling infrastructure, and zero-emission transit and school buses.
Future funding opportunities for Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) projects may become available from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The Joint Office provides information and resources about current funding opportunity announcements (FOAs), requests for information, and links to related opportunities from other DOE offices and federal organizations.
Funded Projects
The Joint Office made available $46.5 million from President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for projects that bolster America's electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The 30 projects across 16 states and Washington, D.C., will ensure convenient and efficient EV infrastructure for drivers.
Learn about key considerations from past DOE-funded projects on curbside EV charging, EV car share, EV charging for multifamily housing, and EV mobility hubs.
