New Tool to Identify EV Infrastructure Funding Opportunities

Centralina Clean Fuels Coalition Offers New Tool to Help Communities Identify Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Funding Opportunities

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and other federal and state funding programs are bringing unprecedented transportation and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure funding to North Carolina. As a result, EV infrastructure planning is top of mind for many Centralina communities. To assist our member communities in tracking the variety of funding programs available and capitalizing on these historic opportunities, the Centralina Clean Fuels Coalition has developed resources that support these planning and funding activities on a regional level.

One of these resources is a region-specific EV Supply Equipment (EVSE) Funding Dashboard that serves as a one-stop resource for communities, organizations and businesses. The Dashboard uses an interactive map to illustrate existing EV infrastructure in our region, identify geographic areas eligible for distinct funding programs and verify project eligibility by allowing users to search for specific communities and addresses. Links to additional information about available funding opportunities are also incorporated into the Dashboard.

Make sure your community is prepared to take advantage of these groundbreaking infrastructure funding opportunities by visiting the EVSE Funding Dashboard today!

 

When a construction or repair contract over $300,000 involves a building, the procurement and contract are subject to additional requirements under N.C.G.S. 143-128. Therefore, this question must be answered to determine whether the additional statutory requirements apply to this procurement scenario.

The micro-purchase threshold is a federal procurement threshold under which competitive procurement is not required. The default micro-purchase threshold is $15,000, but local governments may increase the micro-purchase threshold up to $50,000. An explanation of increasing the micro-purchase threshold and a template for the required annual self-certification is available here.
