Nine more locations in Michigan will soon offer electric vehicle fast charging stations under a second round of grants that total $448,204 awarded today by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
The installations will continue to build out a network of direct current fast chargers (DCFC) that EGLE is partially funding at strategic locations around the state to provide drivers worry-free travel. EGLE’s Charge Up Michigan Program offers up to $70,000 per charging station to public or private entities in partnership with the host site and local utility for site preparation, installation, signage and network fees. The goal is to have the network, funded through Michigan’s allocation from the Volkswagen diesel settlement, completed by 2030.
