The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) just approved $395 million in new funding to accelerate EV charging station deployment across the Commonwealth!
This long-awaited infrastructure investment will support “make-ready” EV programs delivered by three energy companies:
Eversource Energy’s Phase II EV Program: $188 million over 4 years
National Grid’s Phase III EV Program: $206 million over 4 years
Unitil EV Program: $998,000 over 5 years
Thanks to this fresh infusion of state funding, charging stations (including DCFC equipment) can be purchased and/or installed at little-to-no cost to the site hosts. Eligible projects include public, workplace, fleet, municipal utility district (MUD), residential and Environmental Justice Community (EJC).
With a significant backlog of projects awaiting funding, you’ll have to act fast to get your piece of the pie. Let Voltrek guide you to victory! Our EV charging experts will help you breeze through the rebate application process as well as manage every aspect of your charging station project—from start to finish.

Heads up! Next Friday, March 19, is the deadline to apply for FY 2021 funding through the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) program.
There’s $889 million available in INFRA grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Eligible project costs may include:
Reconstruction/rehabilitation
Property acquisition (including land related to the project and improvements to the land)
Environmental mitigation
Construction contingencies
Equipment acquisition
Operational improvements directly related to system performance
Also, this year there’s a new “INFRA Extra” program for applicants who do not receive an INFRA award. They will be eligible for a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan up to 49% of their project cost.
