The state will receive a $14.6 million federal grant to expand its network of electric vehicle charging stations in seven communities.
The grant will support the following investments:
There are 726 other publicly accessible charging locations in Connecticut.
The state has been prioritizing EV-charger investment as more consumers switch to electric vehicles. Over the last year, there was a 19% increase in passenger electric vehicle registrations and a 30% increase in charging ports, according to information from Gov. Ned Lamont’s office.
The state’s first Tesla dealership has opened at Mohegan Sun.
However, the state’s plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars in 2035 was withdrawn in November.
Lamont’s office said the new electric vehicle charger grant increases access to electric vehicle chargers “with an emphasis on neighborhood revitalization, transit-oriented development and equitable access via additional on-street charging.”
“Connecticut is continuing to make investments in cleaner transportation thanks to our collaboration with our federal and local partners,” Lamont said. “Putting these funds to work in rural and urban communities around the state will make it easier for people and businesses to continue making the transition to cleaner cars and trucks.”
The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the grant to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection through its Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program. The program is funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
