IIJA establishes $2.5 billion grant program beginning with allocations of $300 million in FY 22 and continuing to increase funds each year through 2026 for EV charging infrastructure, along with hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling located on designated “alternative fuel corridors.”
‍
IIJA also appropriates $5 billion through Fiscal Years 22-26 to provide 80 percent federal cost share funding to States to strategically deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure and to establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability.

IRA increases incentive eligibility from $30,000 per property to $100,000 per individual charger.

IIJA established the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program

IIJA's NEVI Formula Program required DOT to designate corridors of EVSE to support freight and goods movement at locations the National Highway Freight Network, as well at goods movement locations, ports, intermodal centers, and warehousing locations.

IRA establishes the Advanced Energy Project Credit—a $10 billion investment tax credit to build clean technology manufacturing facilities.

IIJA established a Joint Office of Energy and Transportation.

IRA establishes the Advanced Energy Project Credit—a $10 billion investment tax credit to build clean technology manufacturing facilities.

IRA's Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit Provides $35 per kWh in each battery cell, $10 per kWh in each battery module, and 10% of the costs of critical minerals production.

IIJA expands the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Program within DOE's Loan Program Office to include medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and off-road vehicles, including maritime technology. In addition, IRA allocates $3 billion with 7x authority—up to $20 billion for this program.

FY 23 Appropriations includes $9.8 million to remain available until September 30, 2024.

IIJA appropriates $200 million to expand the DOE’s work in Research, Design, and Development (RD&D) of EV battery recycling and second-life applications.

IIJA provides funding to expand the processing and manufacturing of advanced batteries in the U.S. through research ($60 million), demonstration ($50 million), commercial-scale processing ($100 millon), and retrofitting projects ($50 millon).

IIJA includes a $750 million grant program that helps small- and medium-sized manufacturers build or retrofit manufacturing and industrial facilities to produce or recycle advanced energy products in former carbon communities.

IRA provides $500 million in the Defense Production Act for heat pumps & critical mineral processing and $2 billion in grants to retool existing auto manufacturing facilities.

Submitted several public comments to EPA on rulemaking for Model Year 2026 and beyond.

Submitted public comment to EPA on Phase 2, looking forward to commenting on Phase 3 rulemakings.

President Biden's Executive Order on Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability calls for "coordinated whole-of-government approach" to "secure a transition to clean, zero-emission technologies," including EVs.

President Biden's Executive Order on Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability directs each agency to procure 100% zero-emission light-duty vehicle vehicles by the end of fiscal year 2027 and electrify the federal fleet fully by 2035. IRA allocates $3 billion for USPS EV delivery fleet procurement, as well as EVSE design, installation, and related work across non-federally-owned facilities. The bill also provides $15 million to the Office of the Inspector General for oversight of the implementation of these provisions by the United States Postal Service (USPS).

Our advocacy efforts have pushed USPS to commit to procuring a 40% EV fleet, up from 10%. We continue to push for a larger EV component among next-generation delivery vehicles.
