The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (JOET), a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Energy, has allocated $46.5 million in grants to 30 projects across 16 states and Washington, D.C. These grants aim to bolster electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in diverse communities and to advance the clean energy workforce.

 
Gabe Klein, Executive Director of JOET, emphasized the significance of these grants, stating, "[We are] proud to fund these game-changing clean transportation projects in communities across the country. These investments ensure we can meet unique local needs, create good-paying jobs, innovate new business models, test products thoroughly, and work towards our goal of making it easy for everyone to ride and drive electric."
The funding will target various aspects of EV infrastructure development, including addressing charging barriers in multifamily housing, implementing curbside charging in urban areas, and facilitating seamless connections across modes through e-mobility hubs. Additionally, new incentive structures will be explored to ensure affordable public charging access.
