Grants available for charging stations for EV fleets

The MPCA requests proposals from qualified applicants to install Level 2 and/or Level 3 EV charging stations at locations serving fleet vehicles in Minnesota.

The purpose of this program is to reduce air emissions that result from the consistent use of gasoline-fueled commercial fleet vehicles through an increased use of electric vehicles for fleet purposes. The intent is to support a healthy environment for all Minnesotans and achieve significant emissions reductions across the state, especially in high population areas most impacted by vehicle pollution.

The official Request for Proposals (RFP) has full details on who may apply, eligible project costs, and other information that will help applicants submit a proposal.

  1. Application deadline: May 7, 2019 (4 p.m.)
  2. Eligible applicants: Fleet owners that are for-profit businesses, nonprofit organizations, and public entities including state, tribes, counties, municipalities, schools, and higher education institutions are eligible proposers.
  3. Maximum award: The maximum grant award for this RFP is $5,000 per single-station installation and $10,000 per dual-station.
  4. Match requirement: The grantee is responsible for at least 25% of the total project cost as a cash match.
