What is CALeVIP?

The California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) is a state-funded initiative designed to accelerate the deployment of EV charging infrastructure throughout California. Managed by the California Energy Commission (CEC), CALeVIP provides rebates and incentives to encourage businesses, municipalities, and other organizations to install publicly accessible EV chargers. The project aims to support the state's goals of achieving five million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

How Does CALeVIP Work?

CALeVIP works by offering financial rebates to eligible applicants who install EV charging stations. The process involves several steps:

1. Application Submission: Interested parties submit an application through the CALeVIP website, detailing their proposed charging station project.
2. Eligibility Verification: The application is reviewed to ensure it meets CALeVIP’s eligibility criteria.
3. Rebate Reservation: Once approved, a rebate is reserved for the applicant, which guarantees funding upon successful completion of the project.
4. Project Installation: The applicant proceeds with the installation of the charging stations as per the approved plan.
5. Rebate Claim: After installation, the applicant submits documentation for the rebate claim. Upon verification, the rebate amount is disbursed to the applicant.

Which Charging Stations Are Eligible?

CALeVIP supports a variety of charging station types to cater to different needs:

• Level 2 Chargers: These chargers are suitable for locations where vehicles are parked for extended periods, such as workplaces, parking garages, and multifamily residential buildings.
• DC Fast Chargers: These high-powered chargers are ideal for areas requiring quick charging turnover, such as along major highways, retail locations, and urban centers.

To qualify for rebates, charging stations must meet specific technical and network requirements outlined by CALeVIP. For a detailed list of eligible equipment, visit CALeVIP Eligible Equipment.
