Description: The Lake Michigan Circuit is a multi-state initiative to build EV infrastructure along Lake Michigan to support coastal tourism. Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana are working together to create a scenic route with reliable charging stations along Lake Michigan’s 1,100-mile drivable coastline. The charging stations will be installed at recreational areas, hospitality businesses, and entertainment attractions to provide EV drivers with a long-distance vacation opportunity.
Eligible Projects: The grant amount for charging stations will be the lesser of 33.3% of the total cost or a direct match of the amount the electric utility is paying, up to $5000 for level 2 chargers or up to $70,000 for DC fast chargers, and can only be used for costs directly related to the design, build, operation, and maintenance of charging infrastructure. Awards are distributed on a reimbursement basis only.
