Denver Mobility Incentive Program

Program Overview

Transportation is Denver's second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Denver is now providing funding to support the installation of Level 1 electric vehicle (EV) charging at multifamily housing.

• Up to $100,000 per project is available to install EV charging infrastructure 
  • This track is best for multifamily buildings or organizations that know what EV charging infrastructure they want and are ready to apply for funding.
  • This funding will only cover Level 1 charging infrastructure.
  • Larger funding amounts may be considered based on overall impact and any matching funds associated with the project. 
• We will also be funding up to 10 pilot multifamily EV charging projects
  •  This track is best for multifamily buildings or organizations who are not sure what EV charging infrastructure is best or possible for them.
  • Our team will work with you to understand the best way to approach adding EV charging infrastructure to the building and cover the cost for installation.
  • Pilot projects will only look at Level 1 charging.
• Funding requests for trip replacement solutions, such as incentives for walking, biking and transit, may also be considered.
  • Priority will be given to EV charging projects, but innovative, impactful projects of this type may receive funding.
  • We will not consider projects seeking funding to purchase electric vehicles.

The interest and eligibility form is now open to apply for funding or a pilot project spot. It is a simple project intake form that lets us assess your initial plan and eligibility for funding. If approved, our team will reach out to you to schedule a site visit to collect more information. Forms will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.
