The Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) administers the largest EV infrastructure program of its kind in the nation, the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP). The project is funded by a $200 million block grant from the California Energy Commission and $40 million in partner funding. Over four years, CALeVIP has issued or reserved nearly $125 million for more than 5,500 Level 2 and DC fast chargers.CALeVIP projects are designed with the goal that at least half of incentives go to charging infrastructure in low-income and/or disadvantaged communities. The 13th regional project launches later this year.

CSE is using its Caret® climate tech platform to help utilities, cities and states deploy EV charging effectively, efficiently and equitably. Caret translates proposed or existing EV incentives into expected annual EV sales and weights socioeconomic priorities to create customized maps pinpointing ideal charging locations.
