Deadline Extended: $1.3 Billion Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program

The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program Round 2 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) has designated up to $800 million for new applications. The deadline to apply has been extended by two weeks.

These applications must be submitted in Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 11, 2024.

Supported by technical assistance from the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office), the CFI program is administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is open to state, regional, tribal, and local government entities. It is a critical pillar of the Administration’s charging strategy and addresses needs for charging in communities, at multi-family housing and destinations where cars are parked. CFI also allows applicants not eligible for NEVI to get needed funding, which is critical to ensuring federal dollars include disadvantaged communities in the EV revolution.

*New: On Aug. 12, FHWA published the CFI Round 2 Questions and Answers. This is a companion document to the CFI Round 2 NOFO. The Questions and Answers document provides additional information for potential applicants for new applications following criteria and considerations under the Round 2 NOFO.
