About this opportunity

This is a first come, first served grant solicitation, with minimum requirements and certain conditions as further described in this manual. The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Clean Transportation Program announces the availability of up to $7.0 million in grant funds for projects that will install electric vehicle (EV) chargers at military bases and facilities for use by non-tactical government-owned vehicles and privately-owned vehicles with authorized access (e.g., personnel, delivery vehicles, visitors). The intent of this solicitation is to award follow-on funding support for EV charging infrastructure projects with eligible applicants that have an active award from an eligible United States federal agency. This solicitation is intended to potentially double the number of chargers installed at a military base or facility, compared to what would otherwise be installed with only the federal funding, and accelerate the adoption of zero emission vehicles statewide. Note: On April 11, 2025 In accordance with Section V.D. of the Solicitation Manual, “Solicitation Cancellation and Amendments,” the California Energy Commission (CEC) has determined that it is in the State’s best interest to cancel solicitation GFO-23-608, “Military Electric Vehicle Chargers.”
