With nearly 1,000 new EV chargers being added every week across America, the Biden-Harris Administration has announced over half a billion in grants to help communities across the country deploy EV chargers.  The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure grants are plugging directly into disadvantaged or rural communities, Tribal Nations, and areas near dense housing. Expanding EV charging options will create jobs and lower transportation costs – the Joint Office is thrilled to provide technical assistance to the awardees of this exciting grant program! ⚡️ https://lnkd.in/gmtD9du7 #driveelectric #rideelectric #zeroemission
