Michigan NEVI Round 3: Why this may be your last chance to get subsidized EV charging

Michigan NEVI Round 3: Why this may be your last chance to get subsidized EV charging

If you have commercial property in Michigan, pay close attention. This one is time-sensitive.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has opened solicitations for NEVI Round 3, a statewide investment in EV fast charging infrastructure with a budget of $51 million.

But here's what makes this grant opportunity urgent: this is the last NEVI-funded program Michigan will run. With up to 80% of project costs covered, it's the final shot at this level of funding impact.  If you've been waiting for the right moment to put EV charging at your Michigan locations, this is it.

If you have Michigan locations in your portfolio and want to be considered, now is the time to reach out.

Eligibility across the state

Unlike programs that restrict funding to specific corridors, MDOT is opening Round 3 to sites across the entire state. MDOT is prioritizing the 40 Michigan areas that haven't yet received a NEVI-funded site as Phase 1 counties, but based on available funding levels, there will be ample awards beyond those 40 counties.

Eligibility for the state: The hashed areas are Phase 1 counties and the blue lines are EV Alternative Fuel Corridors.

What the program requires

To qualify, sites must deploy a minimum of four DC fast charging ports at 150 kW or higher, network-connected and available to the public 24/7.

Electric Era has helped customers win over $42.5 M in NEVI funding. We bring the same end-to-end grant strategy, site evaluation expertise, and world-class charging hardware to every program we pursue with customers like Chevron and Love’s. 

Our technology is particularly well-suited for Michigan deployments, where grid constraints and high demand charges make traditional charging infrastructure expensive to operate. Our battery-backed stations reduce the need for costly utility upgrades while making your application more competitive.

Opportunities like this don't come by often.

Michigan doesn’t regularly offer state-level subsidies for DCFC infrastructure, and with NEVI funding winding down, programs of this scale are becoming rare. If you have Michigan locations you’d like to build EV charging at, reach out to the Electric Era team today.
