Grant Opportunities: Electrifying the Future Together
We’re committed to reducing barriers to electric vehicles, preparing for increased EV adoption, and supporting the future of mobility. We are looking to partner with EV-related organizations with similar goals through our Emerging Technology Fund, a DTE program that financially supports novel EV solutions. Our mission is to support solutions that:
- Enable greater EV grid integration
- Break down barriers to EV adoption (including engaging underserved communities)
- Provide other electrification enhancement opportunities that benefit DTE customers
