The Washington State Department of Commerce allocated $37.3 million in Climate Commitment Act funding to support 104 electric vehicle (EV) charging projects across Washington, awarding grants to 43 organizations through the Washington Electric Vehicle Charging Program (WAEVCP). The projects will install 754 new charging ports—comprising 550 Level 2 and 204 Level 3 (DC fast-charging) ports—by late 2027, delivering approximately 20 million kilowatt hours (20 GWh) of electricity annually. Yakamart, a tribally owned convenience store on the Yakama Indian Reservation, received funding to expand EV charging access along Highway 97, serving both local residents and travelers. The King County Housing Authority partnered with Adopt a Charger to install EV chargers in affordable housing communities, addressing a key barrier to EV adoption in multifamily housing. The program prioritizes overburdened and tribal communities, directing 76% of funding to these areas, exceeding Climate Commitment Act targets.
