Upcoming Webinar: Bringing Electric Vehicles to Rural America

Charging Forward: Bringing Electric Vehicles to Rural America Register for this event on Thursday, July 7 at 2:00 p.m. ET.  USDA Rural Development (RD) invites rural partners and stakeholders to join a webinar on Thursday, July 7 from 2-4 p.m. ET to learn about federal funding opportunities and programs to help develop electric infrastructure. Webinar participants will learn about funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that will be administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to help develop electric vehicle infrastructure. The Act provided $7.5 billion to DOE and DOT to build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations across the country. The Act also provided $5 billion for a bus replacement program. This includes $2.5 billion for electric buses and $2.5 billion for low-emission combustion engine buses. Webinar participants will also learn about RD programs that can help develop electric vehicle infrastructure and support related community economic development opportunities. RD wants to ensure people in rural communities are able to take advantage of these opportunities to expand their electric vehicle infrastructure as part of their broader economic development strategies.  Click here to register for the webinar. Visit the Department of Transportation website for additional information on the IIJA. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
