Communities in Charge is California's market-accelerating, light-duty electric vehicle (EV) charging incentive project funded by the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program. The project is implemented by CALSTART and supported in partnership with GRID Alternatives and Tetra Tech. Communities in Charge is designed to transform EV accessibility, rapidly catalyze new markets, and swiftly deploy Level 2 EV charging stations. The project integrates transparent participation requirements and technical assistance to help participants plan for successful projects. The project team offers support and outreach for participants of various readiness levels, with financial incentives reserved for projects with the highest levels of readiness. This block grant project aims to help set participants up for success before, during, and after chargers are installed and is built to scale as funding becomes available.
