On Friday, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced nearly $40 million in grants for communities in Florida to improve electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative fueling infrastructure.
Out of the $39.7 million in grants, the City of Jacksonville and Florida State College of Jacksonville (FSCJ) will receive $2.8 million. The funding will be used to install 100 EV chargers in public areas and school campuses.
This project is one of 49 that will deploy more than 11,500 EV charging ports and hydrogen and natural gas fueling infrastructure across 27 states, according to FHWA.
