Description
Vermont’s Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Grant Program supports expansion of the state’s charging network. Started in 2014, it has funded Level 2 and DC fast charging in designated downtowns and village centers, highway corridors, public park and rides, major attractions and institutions, multifamily housing, and workplaces. Priorities include filling geographic gaps, adding capacity in high-use highway areas, and reducing home-charging barriers for affordable multifamily housing residents.
The Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development administers EVSE investments with other state agencies. Its current funding referral, Charge Vermont, is state-funded and administered by Green Mountain Power. Charge Vermont helps property owners purchase and install Level 1, Level 2, or DC fast chargers where people work, live, shop, or visit.
