5. Two separate grant categories Community Program Corridor Program Corridor EV charging project distance requirement: Maximum distance from an AFC has been increased from one mile to five miles to align with the maximum distance for other CFI-eligible fuels. Additional Notes

6. Key Requirements of the Community Program Minimum Award: $500,000 Maximum Award: $15 Million Located on any public road or in other publicly accessible locations i.e. parking facilities at public buildings, public schools, and public parks, or in publicly accessible parking facilities owned or managed by a private entity.  Must be publicly accessible. May use funds to contract with a private entity. Must demonstrate how benefits will flow to Justice40 communities Expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to expand or fill gaps in access to publicly accessible infrastructure.  Must be accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. driveelectric.gov | 6

Key Requirements of the Corridor Program Minimum Award: $1 Million Maximum Award: No maximum Located along a designated AFC; EV charging within 5 mile and other alternative fuels within 5 miles of the AFC. Must be publicly accessible. Must use funds to contract with a private entity. Must address benefits will flow to Justice40 communities Must be accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Priority given to projects that align with the Zero Emission Freight Strategy driveelectric.gov | 7

8. CFI Aligns with Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy Community Fleets and Freight : Enable local medium- and heavy-duty electrification and alternative fuel use for Class 3 through Class 8 Vehicle fleets for use cases including, but not limited to municipal services, first-mile/last-mile, and hybrid deployments that combine dedicated infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with co-deployed charging for light-duty passenger vehicles. The deployment of these projects should align with Phases 1, 2, or 3 of the National Zero Emission Freight (ZEF) Corridor Strategy , as specified in the Appendix for each Phase. Zero E mission Corridors for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles : Enable zero emission movement of goods, connect distribution hubs, and connect population centers. Projects may also seek to connect national freight corridors with local delivery providers and fleets, such as urban depot charging for light- and medium-duty vehicles. Projects may also leverage other funding for alternative fuel infrastructure at ports or depots along corridors. The deployment of these projects should align with Phases 1 or 2 of the National Zero Emission Freight (ZEF) Corridor Strategy . Medium- and heavy-duty infrastructure applications should include explicit fleet commitments to use the infrastructure.
