The funding is being made under the Commission’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, created by Assembly Bill 118.
Of all the nine projects, Green Charge Networks is the major beneficiary with a funding of about $2,087,153 which will be employed to install, operate, collect data and assess the performance of fast-charging electric vehicle infrastructure at 16 sites.
The program is slated to invest about $90m for the fiscal year 2013 in order to boost the development and use of new technologies, and alternative and renewable fuels, to help the state meet its climate change goals.
Commenting on the initiative energy commissioner, Janea A. Scott said that the program was supporting a wide range of clean-energy transportation projects in the state.
"The awards the Commission made today will provide more fast-charge stations for electric vehicles, natural gas fueling upgrades, and buy-downs to put more propane school buses in use," added Scott.
