Volkswagen EVCS Program
As part of the Volkswagen settlement, Electrify America is administering the $2 billion for the National Zero Emission Vehicle Investment Plan. There is an opportunity to provide input for Electrify America’s cycle 4 ZEV investments at: https://www.electrifyamerica.com/submissions/. We would like to encourage everyone to make submissions nominating locations in South Dakota for consideration.
Please feel free to pass on this information to any agencies that may be interested. Here's hoping the more input they receive from the state, the more likely we will be considered.
