× CALeVIP anticipates launching a new incentive project for DC fast chargers throughout California in 2025. Installation sites will not need to be in a disadvantaged or low-income community to qualify for funding.

What is advanced energy storage?

Advanced energy storage (AES) is typically a battery that uses a smart energy management system to charge and discharge as needed. Generally, AES is installed as a peak load shaving strategy and can be particularly effective in reducing energy consumption from the grid while a DC fast charger is in operation. AES equipment is an eligible cost towards the project cost, but is not required and will not increase the incentive amount.
