Private, public and nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive funding. The due date to submit applications is July 8, 2016. 

Selected projects will receive grant funding for up to 30% of their new station costs. DC fast charge awards are capped at $15,000 per station and CNG stations are capped at $300,000. Grant funds will be provided after all work is completed, all project costs are paid and the station is operational.
