Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) and Infrastructure Grants

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers grants for heavy-duty ZEVs and associated infrastructure. Grant award amounts vary and may cover up to 100% of total project costs. Eligible project costs include:

• The incremental cost of replacing a non-zero emission Class 6 or 7 heavy-duty vehicle with an eligible Class 6 or 7 ZEV;
• Capital, installation, operation, and maintenance costs of ZEV charging or refueling infrastructure;
• Workforce development and training programs to support the maintenance, charging, fueling, and operation of ZEVs; and,
• Planning and technical activities that support the adoption and deployment of ZEVs.

Eligible applicants include state governments, municipalities, public school districts, tribal governments, and non-profit school transportation associations. Additional funding is available for projects located in nonattainment communities. For more information, see the EPA Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle Program website.
