City of Indianapolis Awarded $15M to Install EV Charging in Community Through CFI Program

The Biden-Harris Administration announced $521 million in Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grant Program awards to continue the build-out of electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure in communities across the country, along designated highways, interstates, and major roadways. The CFI grants, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will fund EV charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure in 29 states, eight Federally Recognized Tribes, and the District of Columbia. That includes the construction of more than 9,200 EV charging ports, with the majority of the investment, $321 million, designated for 41 projects that expand all types of EV infrastructure in communities, including Level 2 and DC fast chargers.

The remaining $200 million goes towards building out fast charging projects along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors. The successful build-out of EV charging infrastructure is supported by the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office), which provides technical assistance on planning and implementation of a national network of EV chargers and zero-emission fueling infrastructure.

The City of Indianapolis was among the awardees for this round of funding. The City’s Environmental Justice-Focused EV supply equipment (EVSE) Expansion in Indianapolis to Diversify Transit Options Project was awarded $15 million to install EV charging infrastructure in the Indianapolis community.
