March 21, 2023, 12pm – 1pm – Webinars have been announced by the Dept. of Transportation to share information about the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the CFI Program.
The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program (CFI Program) is a new competitive grant program created by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to strategically deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in the places people live and work, urban and rural areas alike, in addition to along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs). CFI Program investments will make modern and sustainable infrastructure accessible to all drivers of electric, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas vehicles. This program provides two funding categories of grants: (1) Community Charging and Fueling Grants (Community Program); and (2) Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants (Corridor Program). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $2.5 billion over five years for this program. This first round of funding makes $700 million from Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 funding available to strategically deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and other fueling infrastructure projects in urban and rural communities in publicly accessible locations, including downtown areas and local neighborhoods, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities.

August 15, 2023 – 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. Navigating the Transformation Webinar: The Influence of Electric Vehicles and EVSEs on the Wisconsin Manufacturing Supply Chain
Electric vehicles and the associated need for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) infrastructure to support large scale adoption of vehicles into personal and commercial ownership provides a massive opportunity. Supply chain and workforce needs ranging from component manufacturing to the training of technicians to support installation and IT aspects is a guaranteed pathway for economic involvement for the foreseeable future.
Now is the perfect time to understand market needs, funding availability, and catapult Wisconsin forward as an important piece of this transition.
Wisconsin’s Automotive Manufacturing sector is one of our greatest assets, employing over 92,000 people, and possessing a rich economic and cultural legacy. With the ability to supply components that are shared between ICE and EV opportunities exist for an easy transition and expansion. Funding opportunities from state and federal sources are available to expand facilities and develop the needed workforce. Challenges exist, related to efficiency, automation, and innovation, which require solutions moving forward.

September 21, 2023 - Conservation, Renewables, and Resilience - CNG & EV Efforts
2023-09-21 10:00 - 23:00
Ashland and Bayfield Counties – far north and rural Wisconsin Counties – have taken the initiative to plan and seek funding to support their alternative fuel goals. Bayfield County is pursuing several funding opportunities and is deploying CNG and Electric Vehicles. Xcel Energy assisted with helping to develop supportive utility programs enabling EV chargers to be viable as use ramps up.
Ashland County is in the planning phase through a program called Ashland Charges Ahead. This monthly stakeholder engagement, education, and planning effort will enable them to apply for funding during the next round of CFI / NEVI. The City of Ashland has recently installed several new EV charging stations.
This illustrates that counties with population of any size should be pursuing and can benefit from infrastructure development for both governmental and public use.
