Background on the Program
Communities in Charge recently announced its fourth wave of funding for its EV charger incentive program, totaling $56.5 million in available funds. Communities in Charge is dedicated to electrifying high-usage sites where community members live and gather, referred to as ‘Community Connections.’ The program strives to assist communities and sites that need chargers the most, often in locations where EV infrastructure and solutions are limited or non-existent. Funding Wave 4 exclusively serves multi-family housing and multi-family housing related sites.
