California incentive funding tracker and compliance checklist covering CALeVIP, SCE Charge Ready, South Coast AQMD, and SDG&E programs for Total InCharge

Grants & Compliance

Total InCharge tracks EV charging infrastructure grants, NEVI program funding guidelines, and the 30C property tax credit for commercial EV projects so eligible sites capture available funding, while every installation is built for EV infrastructure compliance from day one.

Funding and incentives we track.

Incentive programs change frequently and vary by jurisdiction, so we track them as part of every project scope rather than leaving it to you to research. That includes utility rebates for EV charger installation, Federal EV infrastructure funding, and state EV charging incentives, along with clean fuel reward programs and Department of Transportation EV funding where a project qualifies. Where a project has an emissions-reduction component, we also evaluate carbon credits for EV charging stations as an added revenue or offset opportunity.

California incentive programs we track.

Total InCharge is based in Irvine and builds primarily across Southern California, so these are the state and utility programs we check against every project. Funding levels, application windows, and eligibility rules change often and vary by utility territory and project type — treat the summaries below as a starting point, not a guarantee, and let us confirm current status when we scope your site.

CALeVIP

The California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project, administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy on behalf of the California Energy Commission. Funds publicly accessible DC fast charging statewide, with higher incentive levels for low-income, disadvantaged, and tribal communities. Application windows open periodically by funding round.

SCE Charge Ready

Southern California Edison's rebate and make-ready program for Level 2 and DC fast charging at commercial properties, including a small-site option and a turnkey install path for qualifying multifamily housing in disadvantaged communities. Availability shifts as funding rounds open and close.

South Coast AQMD

Regional incentives for DC fast charging serving medium- and heavy-duty fleets across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, issued through periodic Program Announcements aimed at freight and goods-movement corridors.

SDG&E Power Your Drive for Fleets

San Diego Gas & Electric's infrastructure program for medium- and heavy-duty fleet charging in San Diego County, covering make-ready electrical work for qualifying commercial and public fleets.

CEC Clean Transportation Program

The California Energy Commission's broader competitive grant program for zero-emission transportation infrastructure statewide — the umbrella funding source behind CALeVIP and related state initiatives.

Codes, permits, and safety.

Permitting for commercial EV chargers touches building, electrical, and sometimes fire and planning departments, and requirements shift by city. We manage those submittals directly, along with local zoning laws for EV charging that can affect stall counts, setbacks, and signage. Every installation is built to current EV charging station safety standards, verified through electrical inspection EV charging sign-off, and specified with UL certified EV charging hardware only.

Standards and risk, handled up front.

We document EV infrastructure environmental impact where a project's approval requires it, follow cyber security for EV charging networks best practices on every network deployment, and design ahead of upcoming EV infrastructure building mandates so your project isn't retrofitted a second time in a few years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CALeVIP, and is my site eligible? +
CALeVIP (California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project) is a California Energy Commission program, administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy, that funds publicly accessible DC fast charging statewide, with higher incentives in low-income and disadvantaged communities. Funding rounds open periodically, so we check current windows and eligibility at project scoping rather than assuming a round is open.
What is the NEVI program, and does my project qualify? +
NEVI program funding guidelines cover federal grants for EV charging infrastructure along designated corridors. Eligibility depends on location and project type; we screen for it during initial project scoping.
Is the 30C tax credit still available for commercial EV chargers? +
The 30C property tax credit for commercial EV chargers has changed eligibility rules over time and varies by census tract. We check current eligibility as part of your project's financial planning rather than assuming a flat rate applies.
Do you handle ADA compliance for EV charging stations? +
Yes. ADA compliance for EV charging stations and the NEC code for EV charging stations are built into every design, not treated as a post-installation fix.
