More Details:
​

Applicants can purchase any type of power station they would like from any retailer (with a preference for equipment built in the U.S.). Joule Case, RV Solar Connections, and participating Ace Hardware retailers (selling EcoFlow products) have established a partnership with the RAQC so that food truck owners do not need to pay the full cost of the power stations up front. Instead, the RAQC will reimburse partner retailers directly after they provide the power stations to the food truck owners. Power station retailers interested in establishing this partnership should fill out our contact form.

​

Businesses opening a new food truck that have no generator to recycle are eligible for a grant of up to 70% of the cost of the equipment and installation, up to $20,000.

​

Business owners are eligible for up to $20,000 in awards per calendar year and may apply to multiple application rounds.

​

The RAQC reserves the right to deny applicants an award for any reason and may grant less than 80% of the cost of equipment and installation.
