Minnesota Grants Will Prioritize Projects that Pair EV Charging with Solar Panels
December 28, 2020
The next group of electric vehicle charging station grants from Minnesota’s Volkswagen emissions-cheating settlement will prioritize projects that incorporate solar panels or other sources of local clean energy.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has already awarded grants from the settlement to install nearly 50 Level 2 and fast-charging stations on major state highways. For the next round, the agency will spend $170,000 on 22 Level 2 charging stations.
This time, the criteria for judging applications will reward developers who add solar panels or source renewable power from another local source.
