Communities in Charge Funding

Communities in Charge is California’s light-duty electric vehicle (EV) charging incentive project funded by the California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program. The program accelerates electric vehicle (EV) accessibility by catalyzing new markets and deploying EV charging stations to cut emissions, boost the economy, and benefit disadvantaged communities. Funding Wave 5 will provide $30 million in incentives for Level 2 and Level 1 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment in the multi-family housing sector. To qualify, you must be a property owner, authorized lessee, or designated representative seeking support for Level 1 or Level 2 EV charger installations. Funding Wave 5 is expected to launch in Fall 2026.
