Illinois CEJA EV Charging Grants

Illinois Funding

Unlock Funding with the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA)

The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) is one of the most aggressive clean energy bills in the nation, offering substantial rebates and grants to support the expansion of electric vehicle infrastructure in Illinois.

Administered by the Illinois EPA, these grants are designed to reduce the financial barrier of installing Level 2 and DC Fast Charging stations. Whether you manage a public parking facility, a workplace, or a multi-unit dwelling, CEJA funding can cover a significant portion—sometimes up to 80%—of your project costs.
