Before I pay what the dealer will charge for a new battery, I’d like to know if there are other reasonable options in the area." An answer: "Battery Box in Pittsboro. 2 year warranty.

* Find out if there is any support or service center near you for that brand of #LightEV
* if there is no service or support close to where you live and you expect to provide most of the maintenance, are parts available for you to purchase?

They’re hosting a webinar on 12/11 to provide additional information about the process
deq.nc.gov/volkswagen-settlement/level-2
**North Carolina Phase 1 Level 2 ZEV Infrastructure Program**
On November 17, 2020, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) released the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Level 2 ZEV Infrastructure Rebate Program under the Volkswagen Diesel Settlement Environmental Mitigation Trust. This [RFP for the Level 2 ZEV Charging Infrastructure Program](deq.nc.gov/volkswagen-settlement/level-2) will assist interested parties in applying for funds using a first-come, first-served rebate process to install ZEV Level 2 charging infrastructure, as described in the North Carolina [VW Mitigation Plan](deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/air-quality/motor-vehicles-and-air-quality/volkswagen-settlement) until all funds are exhausted. The primary goal is to increase use of ZEVs in place of gas-powered cars to mitigate nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and greenhouse gas emissions in the state.
A webinar will be held on December 11, 2020 from 10am – 12pm, for interested stakeholders and applicants. During this webinar, staff will show applicants how to request access to the DAQ Grants Management System and answer questions regarding the Request for Proposals. **Applicants are not required to attend the virtual application workshop prior to application submission but are encouraged to participate or watch the recorded session prior to the application acceptance date. Applicants should request access to the DAQ Grants Management System prior to when the application opens on January 25, 2021.**
NCDEQ anticipates awarding a total of approximately $1.1 million towards Level 2 charging infrastructure projects in Phase 1. Rebate applications will be prioritized by the urban-suburban/rural split described in the NC VW Mitigation Plan, with about 68% of the funds allocated for urban and suburban counties, and a minimum of 32% allocated for rural counties.
You must register for the webinar by December 9, 2020. You may register [here](forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=3IF2etC5mkSFw-zCbNftGSu-UZX52SJNmwxNR0LbXGhUOEZLUFpEN…). A link to the webinar will be emailed to all registered attendees prior to the webinar.
