MBARD Charge!
California incentive
The Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) Charge! program provides incentives on a first-come, first-served basis for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure. Public Access Level 2 or DC fast charging projects will be accepted within MBARD territory including across Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz Counties. Public agencies, private businesses, and nonprofits are eligible to apply, with funding covering up to 100% of project costs for public entities and up to 85% for non-public applicants. Priority is given to projects in disadvantaged communities, along transportation corridors, at workplaces, destinations, K-12 schools, multi-unit developments, and port/freight/railyard facilities.
