What we are asking and why

This information request from Commerce is seeking high level details about proposed community EV charging and fueling infrastructure projects, including location, emissions impacts and benefits to highly impacted communities.

We expect to respond to all submissions for support for community projects no later than May 12.

Note: Commerce is NOT deciding on corridor projects - those within one mile of interstate or federal highways.
