Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)

Applications

The United States has a goal to have 50% of all vehicles sold each year be zero-emission by 2030. According to an analysis from McKinsey & Company, achieving this goal would put 48 million EVs, or 15% of all total vehicles, on the road in 2030. To facilitate this goal, the federal government’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), also referred to as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), provides $7.5 billion in funding for 500,000 public EV charging stations.

1. Direct Federal Grant Programs (DOE & DOT)

NEVI Formula Program — $5B for EV charging infrastructure along highway corridors. Your Charge & Go stations could qualify if they’re along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors.
DOE Office of Manufacturing & Energy Supply Chains (MESC) — funds domestic manufacturing buildout (your Jupiter plant).
Title 17 Clean Energy Financing — DOE loan guarantees for innovative clean energy projects. This could fund your manufacturing facility.
CFI (Charging & Fueling Infrastructure) Discretionary Grant Program — $2.5B for community/fleet charging.

2. State-Level Pass-Through The feds push a LOT of BIL money through state energy offices and DOTs. You need to find your state’s NEVI implementation plan and get on their radar NOW — most states are in deployment phase.

3. What You Need to Have Ready

A solid business plan / pro forma for the Jupiter plant
Site control (lease or ownership) for your manufacturing location
Letters of intent from potential Charge & Go customers
Your entity registered on SAM.gov (required for any federal grant)

4. Immediate Action Items

Get registered on grants.gov and SAM.gov if you aren’t already
Contact your state energy office directly
Consider hiring a grant writer who specializes in DOE/DOT programs

grants.gov
doe.gov
energy.gov
transportation.gov
fhwa.dot.gov

Approach to follow

Search grants.gov for open EV charging infrastructure and clean energy manufacturing grants under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
Check DOE energy.gov for open funding opportunities related to EV charging and domestic manufacturing
Check FHWA/DOT for NEVI and CFI program status and open solicitations
Compile a summary of the best matching open grants with deadlines, funding amounts, and eligibility requirements

Okay, here’s the real deal based on what’s actually live and active right now on the federal government sites (as of May 2026). Things have shifted under the current administration — the DOE’s old “Loan Programs Office” is now rebranded as the Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF), but the money is still there. Here’s your roadmap:

🔑 THE BEST FIT FOR YOUR JUPITER PLANT: ATVM Loan Program

The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program is almost perfectly tailored for you. Here’s why:

Up to $40 BILLION in direct loan authority (backed by $3B in credit subsidy from the IRA)
Specifically funds manufacturers of advanced technology vehicles AND qualifying components
The BIL expanded it beyond just light-duty vehicles to include medium/heavy-duty vehicles — your EV GENSET platform likely qualifies
Loan can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs
Open through September 30, 2028
No application fee for the initial pre-app consultation

This is your Jupiter plant path. You’d be applying as a manufacturer of qualifying EV components/charging infrastructure.

🔑 ALSO RELEVANT: Title 17 Energy Financing Program

This covers “innovative energy and supply chain projects” — your Charge & Go stations as a novel EV charging solution could qualify here. The DOE explicitly offers free pre-application consultations for this program with no commitment required.

YOUR IMMEDIATE NEXT STEP — DO THIS FIRST:

Go to energy.gov/EDF/Pre-App and request a free, no-commitment pre-application consultation for the ATVM program. This is where you get a DOE officer on the phone, describe your Jupiter plant and Charge & Go stations, and they tell you exactly what you qualify for and what they need from you. This costs you nothing and locks you into their system.

Also parallel-track these:

SAM.gov — Register your entity NOW if you haven’t. No federal money flows without it.
Your state energy office — NEVI money flows through states. Contact them about your Charge & Go stations as corridor charging infrastructure.
SBA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) — If any of your tech is novel/patentable, DOE SBIR rounds may also apply.
