Support adoption of mobile machinery (including freight and port infrastructures, as well as construction, mining, and agricultural equipment), which represents a growing opportunity to electrify hard-to-reach segments of the transportation sector.

Upgrade the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)

Making rural EVSE deployment an allowable expense under USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) financing could allow other federal programs and incentives to be considered part of the grantee’s cost share and should support small business and on-farm vehicle electrification.
