The RDD&D activities to be funded under this NOFO will support innovation to reduce the energy and cost needed to move goods and people across the US, providing more options for consumers and businesses that can lead to the accelerated deployment of advanced technologies while also significantly improving US competitiveness. This will lead to benefits including increased safety and reliability of batteries, more convenient travel options, decreased cost of driving, increased vehicle and system efficiency, and a more secure supply chain. Specifically, this NOFO is seeking innovative solutions for on- and off-road vehicles in the areas of improved battery technology for both light- and heavy-duty applications, smart charging infrastructure, sustainable farming, workforce development, and demonstration and deployment of these new technologies. Instructions for this NOFO can be found at EERE eXCHANGE: Funding Opportunities.
