Opening **May 12, 2025**, this new initiative offers **competitive statewide funding** to support the deployment of fleet electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. With **$3 million allocated for the first round**, this program is designed to accelerate the electrification of fleet infrastructure across the state.  ### What Is Fleet-ZERO? The *Fleet-ZERO* program provides financial support for the installation of **Level 2 and DC Fast Charging (DCFC)** stations that serve fleets. The funding opportunity is open to both public and private sector stakeholders and supports a range of project types depending on ownership, access, and operational models. Applicants will have: - **12 months** to complete **Level 2 charger installations** - **18–24 months** to complete **Level 3 DCFC projects** ### Eligible Project Types The program supports **three core project categories**: 1. **Single Fleet** - Charging stations owned and operated by a single fleet. 2. **Shared Fleet** - Stations shared among **two or more fleets**, promoting infrastructure efficiency. 3. **Charging-as-a-Service, Public, or Semi-Public Fleet** - **Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS)**: Providers offer charging to one or more fleets via access/utilization agreements. - **Public Fleet Charging**: Open-access, first-come, first-serve model. - **Semi-Public Fleet Charging**: Reservation-based access open to multiple fleets. ### Incentive Breakdown - **Per Dual Port Charger Incentives:** - **$6,000** for Level 2 chargers (<19kW) - **Up to $70,000** for high-powered DCFC units (100kW+) - **Total Incentive Range**: Projects may receive **$250,000 to $500,000**, depending on scope and specifications. - **Equity-Enhanced Incentives**: Up to **90% of total project costs** are available for: - Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) - Minority/Women/Veteran-Owned and Small Business Enterprises (MBE, WBE, VOSB, SBE) - Non-profits and Government agencies ### Small-Scale Projects Also Welcome A **rolling application process** is available for projects requesting **less than $50,000**, offering flexibility for smaller fleet operators to electrify without competing in the larger funding round. ### Ready to Charge Ahead? Whether you operate a single municipal fleet or provide charging-as-a-service to a regional network, Colorado’s *Fleet-ZERO* program offers tailored funding to help bring your EV infrastructure online. With an emphasis on equity and flexibility, this program is a powerful step toward decarbonizing transportation across the state. 📅 **Application Deadline:** July 11, 2025 🔌 **Program Launch:** May 12, 2025 ## Similar posts [Canada Blog ](https://grantmatch.com/hot-new-programs) Funding Program News ### [Low or No Emission Public Transit Program](https://grantmatch.com/en-us/hot-new-programs/low-or-no-emission-program) The Low or No Emission competitive program provides funding for the purchase or lease of zero-emission and low-emission transit buses.
