What’s Under the Hood?
Each Level 2 port can snag you up to $8,500! Plus, starting in October, the program will also offer an additional $2,000 for every publicly accessible Level 1 port. For our tribal communities, extra bonuses are in store—talk about a win-win! With an equity-first approach, projects serving disadvantaged and low-income areas will get pushed to the front of the line. Stacey Simms from Calstart sums it up perfectly: this initiative is breaking down barriers, so every Californian can go electric!
