The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The Charge Up Michigan Program is an EV Charger Placement project that aims to build the infrastructure for DC fast charging stations in the state of Michigan to ensure feasibility of all long distance trips for electric vehicle (EV) users, within the state, and also to neighboring states and Canada. To achieve this, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and partners (electric utilities and applicant) will provide funding for qualified DCFC EV charging equipment, site preparation, equipment installation, networking fees and signage.

Public or private organizations that can host publicly accessible charging stations, can fulfill program priorities, and are enrolled in a utility rebate program are eligible to apply for this grant.
The projects we fund are selected based on reports by Michigan State University named Electric Vehicle Charger Placement Optimization in Michigan: Phase I - Highways and Full Tourism Report and EV Charger Placement Optimization in Michigan: Phase II - Urban Report.. These reports predict the optimal number and placement of DC fast chargers to provide basic charging infrastructure throughout the state, including highways and select urban areas.
We have already funded many such projects, and we plan to prioritize the remaining funding on projects that cover unfilled "nodes" and areas where more charging stations are needed. You can check the "Charge Up Michigan" layer on the Michigan Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Programs Map and the Urban Report to determine which nodes are still eligible for funding. Additionally, we will consider applications from those seeking to install EV charging stations in dense urban areas.
The grant amount 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 $70,000, and can only be used for eligible EV charging equipment.
Grant awards will be distributed on a reimbursement basis only, meaning grantees must pay project costs in full prior to receiving funds from EGLE. EGLE will reimburse grantees their award amount once proper invoices, receipts, and proof of payments have been received and reviewed.
EGLE will accept and process applications on a first come, first serve basis until funding is exhausted.
