Fueling the Sierra Charging Network
The Sierra Charging Network is a regional initiative to expand publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging across the Central Sierra. Eligible counties include Amador, Alpine, Calaveras, Inyo, Mariposa, Mono, Nevada, and Tuolumne.
The Sierra Charging Network aims to build a reliable, community-informed EV charging network that supports both residents and visitors while advancing regional economic development. The program provides no-cost site assessments and technical guidance to potential host locations, helping determine site readiness, available power, charger type, and installation feasibility. Sites selected for funding will work directly with EV Range, the project’s implementation partner, to complete engineering, design, permitting, and installation. By expanding clean transportation infrastructure in rural areas often overlooked in statewide planning, the Sierra Charging Network strengthens local economies, supports tourism, improves mobility, and helps the Sierra region prepare for California’s continued transition toward zero-emission transportation. Funded through a $4 million California Energy Commission grant awarded to Momentum and supported by CSEDD, the project helps reduce rural charging gaps, strengthen travel corridors, and create new opportunities for businesses and property owners to host EV charging infrastructure.
