FHWA released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Round 2 of the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Opportunity ((693JJ324NF00017) at 11 am ET Thursday, May 30, 2024.
The CFI Round 2 NOFO offers up to $1.3 billion in funding for new applications and for previously submitted applications. The announcement is made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s signature EV charging investments: the $2.5 billion Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program and a 10 percent set-aside from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program.
The NOFO announces availability of up to $800 million for newly submitted applications. The NOFO also announces up to $521 million of funds reserved for previously submitted applications that were not selected for funding but rated either “Highly Recommended,” or “Recommended” under the CFI FY 2022/2023 Round 1 NOFO. To maximize chances of obtaining an award, CFI FY 2022/2023 unawarded applicants may request funds for their previously submitted applications, and they may also submit a new application following the criteria outlined in the CFI Round 2 NOFO.
