Background and Award Information

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has launched the 2026 Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle (CHDV) Program, offering approximately $4.3 million to replace eligible Class 6 and Class 7 diesel refuse and recycling vehicles with new, zero-emission battery electric vehicles. CHDV funding may also be used towards covering the cost of associated charging equipment, workforce development, and training. Any public or private organization physically located in Michigan is eligible to apply. Individual grant awards are expected to range from $100,000 to $1,000,000, capped at $260,000 per vehicle (inclusive of charging infrastructure and workforce costs). EGLE will operate the program on a reimbursement basis and applicants must provide a minimum of 50% cost share toward vehicle purchases.
