Maintained by the EVgpo team · Refresh cadence: monthly

May 2026 — Initial publication

Database goes live with 154 active programs across 6 tiers (federal, state, regional, utility, county, city) and 6 funding mechanisms (cash rebate, tax credit, competitive grant, make-ready, voucher, fee waiver / expedited permit).

Highlights of what's in the v1 dataset:

Confirmed CALeVIP 1.0 regional projects (Bay Area Incentive, Alameda County, Peninsula-Silicon Valley, Central Coast) are fully closed. CALeVIP 2.0 is the active framework.
Confirmed SDG&E Power Your Drive for Apartments and Workplaces are closed to new applications. San Diego currently relies on federal §30C plus SDAPCD for charger funding.
Confirmed Liberty Utilities Tahoe rebate sunset end of 2025. Removed from the active list. South Lake Tahoe ZIPs now show federal + adjacent PG&E programs.
Tagged the federal §30C credit with its 2026-06-30 termination date per the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The site auto-filters §30C from the active list after that date.
27 high-traffic programs got hand-written summaries in the EVgpo voice. Remaining 127 programs got auto-generated summaries from structured data — flagged for editorial review on next refresh.
Property type taxonomy split: "commercial" (overlapping ambiguous category) replaced with separate Workplace and Public Access types. School / Government added as a distinct type.

Coverage details:

7 federal programs (§30C, CFI Community, CFI Corridor, NEVI, USDA REAP, DOE SEP, §48E ITC for storage)
23 California state programs (CALeVIP 2.0 family, EnergIIZE family, Carl Moyer, REACH, HCD AHSC/IIG/MHP/TOD, IBank, LCFS, SGIP, others)
