California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP)

CALeVIP provides incentives covering up to 100% of approved costs (capped at $100,000 per charging port) for installing publicly accessible DC fast charging equipment at your property. You can apply during the July 8–September 30, 2025 window if your project is ready-to-build (permit issued and utility service design finalized); disadvantaged and low-income community projects receive priority consideration. Contact the program at 858-429-5205 or calevip@energycenter.org for free application assistance.

CALeVIP allows EV service providers to help customers secure incentives covering equipment, installation, planning, and other eligible costs for publicly accessible DC fast chargers, with awards up to $100,000 per port on a first-come, first-served basis. You must work with projects that meet ready-to-build requirements (issued permit and final utility service design) during the open application window to qualify for funding. Register as an EV service provider in the application portal and guide customers through the tiered selection process, which prioritizes shovel-ready projects.

CALeVIP distributes incentives on a first-come, first-served basis for DC fast charging infrastructure at publicly accessible sites statewide, with awards up to $100,000 per port and coverage of 100% of approved costs. The program implements tiered project selection prioritizing disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and tribal nations that meet ready-to-build criteria (issued permits and finalized utility designs). Application windows are scheduled for July 8–September 30, 2025, with future windows planned for October 2026 and February 2027; the program provides free application assistance and maintains an online portal for property owners, contractors, manufacturers, and tribes.
