EnergIIZE Commercial Vehicles (MD/HD ZEV Infrastructure Incentive Block Grant project) - EV Jump Start Funding Lane

EnergIIZE Commercial Vehicles (Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles) is the nation’s first commercial vehicle fleet infrastructure incentive project. Funded by the California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program and implemented by CALSTART, EnergIIZE provides incentives for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure equipment for medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles operated and domiciled in California.

The EV Jump Start funding lane is one of four funding lanes under EnergIIZE. EV Jump Start is intended for applicants/fleet users who meet certain equity eligibility criteria such as project location in a disadvantaged or low-income community. The application process is competitive and applications are scored on criteria demonstrating cost effectiveness and community benefit.
