About this opportunity

EVC RAA is an initiative to repair or replace non-operational EV chargers to improve the reliability of existing EV charging infrastructure. By addressing reliability and accessibility challenges, the EVC RAA Program aims to spur wider adoption of EVs. In January 2024, the FHWA awarded the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) $63.7 million in one-time funding through EVC RAA. The CEC is partnering with Caltrans to implement and administer California’s EVC RAA program. In total, the CEC estimates a minimum of 1,302 ports will be repaired, replaced, or added to meet the federal NEVI standards across California through this solicitation.

Funding geography: All proposed charging stations must be within California, located at addresses that match exactly with addresses listed in FHWA’s Final List and Final List Addendum of Non-Operational Chargers
