What’s Happening: EVgo Inc., a leading public fast-charging network for electric vehicles (EVs), has been selected for proposed awards of $6.6 million from the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) 2.0 program. The funding is aimed at supporting the deployment of fast charging infrastructure in central and eastern California through the Golden State Priority Project (GSPP).

Why It Matters: As part of EVgo’s commitment to providing a top-tier charging experience, the company will use the rebate to deploy high-power 350kW chargers in disadvantaged or low-income community census tracts. These installations will help ensure equitable charging infrastructure distribution across demographics and geographies, making EV adoption more accessible to a wider range of Californians. 220v Ev Charger
