Illinois' state EV officer Megha Lakchaura highlighted the need for heavy-duty charging infrastructure, stating, 'there was no pot of money for heavy or medium duty electrification'.
The Illinois EPA's partnership with Tesla and logistics firms aimed at securing CFI funding, as Lakchaura noted, 'prompted a very good response from the market'.
This $100 million project marks a significant milestone in the Biden Administration's efforts to promote electric vehicle infrastructure under the CFI program.
Despite backing a project for a trucking corridor from California to Texas, Tesla's previous efforts for funding highlights the competitiveness in obtaining federal grants.
