California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project 2.0 (CALeVIP 2.0) – Fast Charge California Project Grant

The California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project 2.0 (CALeVIP 2.0) aims to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure through the Fast Charge California Project. This initiative encourages quick installations of high-powered DC fast chargers across California, benefiting residents by reducing air pollution and supporting the growth of plug-in electric vehicles. Applicants must submit a Final Utility Service Design and an Issued Permit to qualify for incentives, facilitating the state's zero-emission vehicle goals.

In 2021, the California Energy Commission (CEC) approved a second electric vehicle infrastructure (EVI) block grant for the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) to expand the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) with the design and implementation of additional electric vehicle charger incentive projects throughout California (“CALeVIP 2.0”). The Fast Charge California Project 1 (FCCP-1) is the second incentive project under CALeVIP 2.0.
FCCP-1 is a statewide program available in all four regions of California: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Central. Only Applicants that submit with their Application both a Final Utility Service Design and an Issued Permit will be eligible to participate in FCCP-1.
The goal of FCCP-1 is to provide incentives for quick and efficient installations of high-powered DC fast chargers within California to help meet California’s ZEV goals. FCCP-1 provides incentives to Applicants with qualified sites for the purchase and installation of eligible EV charging infrastructure equipment. FCCP-1 benefits the residents of California by providing air pollution emission reductions through the provision of adequate infrastructure to support plugin EV growth. CSE is implementing FCCP-1 through a partnership with CEC.
