Bay Area air district offering grants to offset purchase of electric vehicle charging stations

Grant funding applications are open for public agencies and private businesses to mitigate the costs of buying and installing public electronic vehicle charging stations, The Bay Area Air Quality Management District announced.

The air district will provide $7 million in funds to recoup up to 80 percent of EV charging costs in their Charge! program. The hope is to make the Bay Area’s goals of having 90 percent of all vehicles electric by 2050 that much easier.
