Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that the City’s Drive Electric Chicago program received a major boost today from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s (CMAP) approval of a $15.5 million federal grant for new charging stations and almost 200 electric vehicles (EV’s), including six electric buses to serve passengers at the City’s two airports, improvements that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 10,000 tons.

Today’s decision by CMAP provides $15.5 million in funding from the Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program that will allow for the investment in 182 EV’s that will be added to the City’s vehicle fleet, plus nine DC-Fast Charging stations, and 182 Level 2 charging stations. These investments put the City of Chicago on track to attain the goal of a passenger fleet that is 25 percent EV by 2023.
