Upcoming Rebates

Two new opportunities for CALeVIP Fast Charge California Project (FCCP) incentives totaling at least $55 million are coming!

Building on the successful first Fast Charge California Project incentive window, which closed in January, these new projects will give site owners and developers two opportunities to move ready-to-build charging projects from planning to installation.

Expanding charging access in underserved areas remains a focus of CALeVIP, with FCCP prioritizing projects in disadvantaged and low-income communities and on tribal lands.

If you weren’t ready for the first window, you now have time to get ready for the next two.

  • FCCP Window 2 will be open October 7, 2026‒January 14, 2027, with incentives covering up to 100% of eligible installation costs for DC fast chargers, up to $100,000 per charging port.
  • FCCP Window 3 will be open February 24, 2027‒May 27, 2027, with incentive levels capped at $55,000 per port regardless of power level with minimum output of 150kW.

Update on project requirements
Both new windows will focus on ready-to-build publicly accessible fast chargers statewide, with updated terms and conditions and reporting requirements. Among the updates:

  • Charging hubs, hotels and business districts will no longer be eligible site types.
  • All funded chargers must be ENERGY STAR certified.
  • CEQA exemptions will no longer be allowable for unpaved sites.
  • Applicants must be both the incentive recipient and owner of the charging equipment.

Additional changes for Window 3:

  • Only one CCS connector is required per site.
  • Removal of the rebate category for 275+kW higher power equipment.
  • All eligible equipment will default to the $55,000 per port rebate.
