General Grants FAQs

What is an IIJA grant?
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is a bipartisan law that authorizes $1.2 trillion for transportation and infrastructure. Funds address areas including energy, power infrastructure, and more. For full details, explore the federal IIJA guidebook.
What is NOFO and FOA?
A Notice of Funding Opportunity and a Funding Opportunity Announcement is issued by the federal government when a new grant (or a new phase of an existing grant) is available. NOFOs and FOAs are how grants, the result of acts of congress, are disbursed.
Where's a good place to keep up to date on new phases/grant deadlines?
A great source of information on new funding and deadlines for new phases of existing grants is grants.gov.

EV and Energy Efficiency Grants FAQs

What are examples of current energy efficiency grant programs?

Plenty of customers are enjoying the benefits of energy efficiency grant programs, including:

  • Electric transit buses in Tulsa, Shreveport, Columbus, and Athens
  • Electric School Buses in OH, VA, WV, OK, TX.
  • Electric Delivery Vans used by Walmart and Amazon
  • Electric Bus Manufacturing Facilities in OK, OH, VA.
How do I choose if EV fleets are right for my organization?
One way to determine if EV fleets are right for you is by conducting a technology maturity assessment. In general, businesses that utilize half ton trucks and vans, with an expected daily mileage of 60-70 miles or less, are prime candidates for fleet electrification. To determine suitability, ask yourself two key questions: What does the vehicle transport, and how far does it travel?
What is the difference between a station location, an EVSE Port, and a connector?

Station Location: A station location is a site, like a parking garage or a mall parking lot, where you can find one or more EVSE ports to charge your electric vehicle.

EVSE Port: An EVSE port is the power source that charges your vehicle. It can have multiple connectors, but only one vehicle can charge at a time. Think of it like a charging post that can accommodate one or more EVSE ports.

Connector: Connectors are what you plug into your vehicle to charge it. You might come across different types like CHAdeMO or CCS, but remember, only one vehicle can charge at a time. These connectors are sometimes called plugs.

Are electric vehicles more expensive than traditional vehicles, even with grant funding?
Battery EVs are about 40% cheaper to maintain compared to traditional vehicles. You'll spend less on part replacements and tune-ups. Plus, the Department of Energy found that fueling an EV cost only half as much on average.
What's difference between alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and electric vehicles?
Electric Vehicles are one type of AFVs – other fuel types include biodiesel, CNG, ethanol, hydrogen, LNG, propane, and renewable diesel.
How do I find out if my organization is near alternative fuel stations?

Use the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuel Station Locater.

Where do I find EV public charging stations?
There are over 55,000 EV public charging stations, and the numbers keep growing. You can easily find them using this resource from the Alternative Fuels Data Center. This comprehensive tool covers all registered EV public charging stations in the US and Canada, and you can conveniently filter them by state.
What's the process and timeline for energy efficiency grant applications?
When the Grant FOA or NOFO is released, submit your concept paper. After review, the results will be shared, giving you the opportunity to apply for the grant. If necessary, form a consortium. Secure grant funding, negotiate, and implement your program, making sure to report your progress along the way.
