Charge Ahead

Loan Program

Collective Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) is partnering with Charge Ahead Colorado to provide the Charge Ahead Loan to successful grant applicants, to finance full project costs or to bridge the gap between equipment purchase + installation and the receipt of reimbursable grant funds.

The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) administers the Charge Ahead Colorado electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure grant program. Grants are available for community-based Level 2 and Level 3 EV charging stations. Qualifying entities include community centers, income-qualified (IQ) multifamily housing (MFH), libraries, non-profit organizations, public entities installing charging for the specific use of the public, recreation centers, schools (not-for-profit and public), and tribal entities.
