About this opportunity

To be an “Eligible Project” under this solicitation, projects must be located in California and fit into one or more of the product categories listed below: Category 1 are projects which manufacture, produce, and/or assemble: · Complete light-, medium-, or heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). The ZEV can be an on-road or off-road plug-in battery-electric vehicle (BEV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). Category 2 are projects which manufacture, produce, and/or assemble: · A complete off-board Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) · Hydrogen refueling station equipment (HRSE) systems which include but are not limited to; electrolyzers, storage, chillers, compressors, nozzles, refueling apparatus, dispensing equipment, safety equipment, and control systems · Energy storage systems that connect to EVSE and/or HRSE systems · Vehicle Grid Integration (VGI) hardware and equipment Category 3 are projects which manufacture, produce, and/or assemble: · ZEV components where the manufactured or final product is an integral component of a Complete ZEV. Components include, but are not limited to, power trains, fuel cells and fuel cell stacks, control and management systems, and on-board chargers. Components that are common to both ZEVs and internal combustion engine vehicles (e.g. windshields, tires, doors) are not included. · ZEV infrastructure components where the manufactured or final product is an integral component of an EVSE, HRSE, and/or VGI system. Category 4 are projects which manufacture, produce, and/or assemble: · Battery and battery components primarily for the purpose of integrating into a ZEV, EVSE, and/or as part of an on-site energy storage system for ZEV infrastructure. Applicants will have the ability to incorporate more than one product category into their funding application, if desired (e.g., a project incorporating both ZEV batteries and Complete ZEVs).
