Alabama Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program

 

Overview

To review the State’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Plan, click the banner below:

 

 

Alabama has a state-funded program which provides opportunities for charging infrastructure grants in areas of the state and for types of chargers that are not eligible under the federal NEVI program.

Ongoing priorities for this state program will include fast-charging projects along non-interstate corridors and Level 2 charging projects at locations where people have longer dwell times, including workplaces, tourist attractions, shopping centers, and near multi-family dwellings.

 

Public Input Always Accepted

It is important to the state to receive input from interested parties. Anyone interested in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, sharing information, or commenting on the development of the plan is encouraged to submit comments to ev@adeca.alabama.gov. Comments submitted will be evaluated and considered during future updates to the plan.

FAQ

What costs can be covered by the Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure grant funds?

EV Infrastructure funds can cover the acquisition, installation, operation and maintenance of new light duty zero emission vehicle supply equipment for projects. Funds may not be used to purchase or rent real-estate, for other capital costs (e.g., construction of buildings, parking facilities, etc.) or general maintenance (i.e., maintenance other than of the Supply Equipment).

Should applicants with multiple potential charging sites submit applications for individual sites or one application covering multiple sites?

Each site should be a separate application.

Will utilities be providing any additional project support (e.g. funding to cover make-ready infrastructure)?

Partnerships are encouraged but must be between the applicant and their partner.

Will partnership contributions count towards match?

Yes, but contributions must be documented. Any match committed to the project is the responsibility of the applicant.

What is the turn-around time for announcements?

It is anticipated that announcements will be made within 90 days of the close of the application.

Is there a specific timeframe for acquisition, installation, and operation?

It is typically expected that construction will be complete within 12-18 months. If any delays are anticipated, applicants should outline these delays in the application. The proposed timeline should reflect time required to comply with all applicable state and federal laws.

Will there be additional funding opportunities for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure projects?

Any subsequent rounds will be determined based on the funds available.
