Final funding: What retailers need to know about CA NEVI Round 6
Retailers without EV fast charging are already losing ground: Data shows that retailers can experience a 10% drop in sales when a competing charging station opens just down the street.
With California home to more EVs than any other state, that pressure is building. Fortunately, the upcoming California NEVI Round 6 grant is a perfect opportunity to upgrade your footprint for a fraction of the cost.
The catch? This is the last round of funding for this program.
The details:
This program is designed to heavily subsidize the deployment of EV infrastructure along key travel corridors in California:
- The state will cover 80% of your project costs, making the financial upside strong.
- The application window opens in June with $79 million available for publicly available EV fast charging projects.
- The grant will fund up to 20 charging ports per site.
Built to benefit retailers:
Success in EV charging is about staying competitive and owning the customer experience, not just plugging in cars. Electric Era’s charging stations are specifically designed with retailers in mind.
Every charger features a large interactive screen that seamlessly integrates with your existing retail media network, personalized promotions, and customer loyalty programs. This ensures that while drivers are charging outside, you are driving engagement and revenue inside.
How to win grant funding:
Winning a CA NEVI grant is more than just filling out forms, it requires strategy. Project Readiness is the single heaviest scoring criterion at 30% of your total score, and there's a minimum threshold just to qualify.
The application window opens in June, but getting underway with the real groundwork (confirming site control, utility verification, and additional site due diligence) will ensure the competitiveness of your site(s) and application well before you submit. Teams that begin their site evaluations early are the ones that will actually be competitive when the application window opens in June.
