The Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator (EVCRAA) is a pivotal component of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, a comprehensive $5 billion initiative in the United States aimed at establishing a robust coast-to-coast electric vehicle (EV) charging network. EVCRAA, with an allocated budget of $100 million, is committed to enhancing the dependability of existing EV charging infrastructure by repairing or replacing inoperative chargers. ### Funding Overview 1. **Total Program Budget:** $100 million 2. **Federal Funding Allocation:** - The federal government will cover up to **80% of the total project cost **for repair or replacement of EV chargers. 3. **Applicant Matching Share:** - Awardees are required to provide a minimum of **20%** of the total project cost as a matching share. This can be in cash or in-kind services. Eligibility Requirements    Eligibility for the Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator (EVCRAA) program is primarily open to the following entities: 1. **State Departments of Transportation**: State-level transportation departments within the United States are eligible to apply for EVCRAA funding. 2. **Local Governments**: Local government authorities, such as municipal or county governments, are also eligible to participate in this program. Eligible Activities 1. Repair or Replacement Criteria: - EVCRAA supports projects addressing broken or non-operational publicly accessible level 2 AC chargers or DC fast chargers. - The chargers in question should be among those labelled as temporarily unavailable by the US Department of Transportation as of September 11, 2023. 2. Repair or Replacement Options: - Eligible projects can choose to either repair the non-operational chargers or replace them with upgraded equipment. - All repaired or replaced chargers must become operational within 12 months. 3. Compliance Standards: - Chargers must meet the compliance standards of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program and the Buy America requirements. 4. Alternative Fuel Corridor Replacement: - States and government agencies also have the option to replace inoperative level 2 AC chargers along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors with DC fast chargers. - Applicants are encouraged to include multiple locations in their applications to streamline the review process, further enhancing the accessibility of EV charging infrastructure.
