CEC Zero-Emission Vehicle and ZEV-Related In-State Manufacturing Funding Opportunities |
The California Energy Commission is authorized to provide $125 million towards grants that “increase in-state manufacturing of zero-emission vehicles, zero-emission vehicle components, and zero-emission vehicle charging or refueling equipment.”
Based on feedback received from pre-solicitation workshops, CEC staff are planning to develop two competitive grant funding solicitations. The first solicitation will focus on ZEVs and ZEV-Related Manufacturing and will offer grant funding to projects that increase the in-state manufacturing of ZEVs, ZEV components (including batteries), and ZEV charging/refueling infrastructure whose products are available for commercial sale. CEC staff expects to release this grant funding solicitation in Spring 2022 to accept applications for funding. CEC staff expects to initially offer $60 million under this solicitation, with the ability to increase this amount in the future.
A second solicitation will focus on seeking a third-party block grant implementer who will, with guidance and oversight from the CEC, design and implement grant funding incentives that promote in-state battery manufacturing and production in the clean transportation sector. A pre-solicitation workshop is planned for the end of January 2022, with a competitive solicitation to select the implementer expected to be released in late Spring 2022. CEC staff expects to initially offer $25 million under this solicitation, with the ability to increase this amount in the future.
More information will be available in Spring 2022.
