EnergIIZE Commercial Vehicles (MD/HD ZEV Infrastructure Incentive Block Grant project) – Transit Set-Aside Funding Lane - Round 1
California Energy Commission's EnergIIZE program distributes $11.4 million in incentives for zero-emission infrastructure—charging stations and hydrogen refueling equipment—serving medium- and heavy-duty battery-electric and fuel cell fleets operating in California. Transit agencies and commercial fleet operators can apply for funding across four lanes, including a competitive pathway for publicly accessible charging networks and hydrogen refueling sites. The program directly supports California's mandate requiring public transit to reach 100 percent zero-emission bus fleets by 2040.

AI overview
EnergIIZE (Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission) Commercial Vehicles is the nation's first commercial vehicle fleet infrastructure incentive project funded by the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program and implemented by CALSTART. The program provides incentives for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure equipment for medium- and heavy-duty (MDHD) battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles operated and domiciled in California. The project aims to pair zero-emission vehicle incentives with infrastructure incentives to support CARB's Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation, which sets a goal for public transit agencies to gradually transition to 100 percent zero-emission bus fleets by 2040. The program offers multiple funding lanes: EV Fast Track Funding Lane (First-Come, First-Served) for EV commercial fleet users with vehicle purchase orders or existing MD/HD battery-electric vehicles; EV Jump Start Funding Lane (Competitive) for EV fleet users in disadvantaged or low-income communities meeting equity criteria; EV Public Charging Funding Lane (Competitive) for publicly accessible charging infrastructure deployment for electric commercial MD/HD vehicles; and Hydrogen Refueling Funding Lane (Competitive) for hydrogen refueling infrastructure deployment for MD/HD vehicles. Total incentive amount available is $11.4 million.
