But where does one charge these cars away from home? Colorado is working on that. The EV Supply Equipment grant pays out up to $16,000 to companies who put in charging stations in their buildings. As part of the state’s Charge Ahead Colorado, the grant program gives companies a chance to apply for funds every four months. The current round ends March 31, 2016, so to get your name in, apply by the end of the month. Payouts are as follows: Level 2, Single-Port Station: $3,260 Level 2, Multi-Port Station: $6,260 Level 3, Single Connection Standard Station: $13,000 Level 3, Multiple Connection Standard Station: $16,000 A separate grant provides money for electric vehicle fleets. The Colorado Energy Office and the Regional Air Quality Council are providing the funds. “Awards are determined based upon each project’s potential to improve air quality and encourage deployment of electric vehicles across the state,” said Wes Maurer, CEO transportation program manager for the Colorado Energy Office. More information is in the program’s Application Guide. In the most recent round, the program received 34 applicants, which got partial funding for nine EVs and 68 charging units. The number of registered electric vehicles in Colorado has jumped from 20 cars in 2011 to 6,341 as of December 2015. That’s about 0.9 percent of Colorado’s light-duty vehicle sales. EVs are eligible for up to $13,500 in state and federal tax incentives, which the state will start winding down in 2019. Colorado has also helped fund the spread of public charging stations, which now number 310 from about 80 in 2013. In Colorado, Tesla also has eight Tesla’s Supercharger stations, where Tesla car owners can fill up for free.
