Commerce to invest $19 million in electric vehicle charging projects

Commerce is requesting public feedback on the $19.4 million in planned investments in electric vehicle (EV) charging projects.

You can provide feedback on the program design through August 8, before we launch the final application. The next application phase is tentatively scheduled for early September. Here's how you can submit feedback:

*Climate Commitment Act*
Funding for the Washington Electric Vehicle Charging Program (WAEVCP) comes from the Climate Commitment Act and will add to the $98 million in existing grants already supporting the installation of more than 5,000 charging ports across the state. The upcoming RFA will be the program’s second round, adding $19.4 million in competitive awards.

Questions? Email the Clean Transportation Unit at [email protected].

*Disclaimer*
Commerce is publishing a Draft Program Design to receive feedback before making final decisions. All information provided during the feedback phase is subject to change in the Request for Applications (RFA), tentatively scheduled to open in September. All consideration of applications, evaluation, and awards will be based on the RFA and not the Draft Program Design.
