In January 2018, PCJPB applied for $631.5&nbsp;million in state funds for the Electrification Expansion Project (EEP), part of which would be used to exercise the option to purchase an additional 96 EMUs at a cost of $600M. The existing funding for PCEP includes the purchase of 96 EMUs, which would displace 75% of the current diesel-hauled passenger trains from the Peninsula Corridor. The additional funds requested for EEP would bring the electric fleet to 192 EMUs, enabling Caltrain to displace all diesel passenger locomotives between San Francisco and Tamien with a fleet of 24 8-EMU consists. $11.5M of the request would be used for station improvements: $8M to expand certain platforms to accommodate 8-EMU trains and $3.5M to increase secure bicycle storage. An additional $14M would be used to implement on-board WiFi for passengers. The remaining $6M would be used to support planning and policies along the Peninsula Corridor.<ref name=2018-TIRCP>{{cite web |url=http://www.tillier.net/stuff/caltrain/Caltrain_TIRCP_Application_Jan_2018.pdf |title=2018 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program Application for Peninsula Corridor Electrification Expansion |date=12 January 2018 |publisher=Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board |access-date=31 January 2018}}</ref> The configurationupdated ofEMU theconsist additional EMUs is not confirmedconfiguration, althoughaccording Clemto TillierStadler hasbrochures speculatedreleased thein additional2021 EMUsand will2023, beadds similara toseventh thecar, bike trailer cars (which lackis tractiona motors)passenger buttrailer with additionaltwo seatingpowered instead of bike racks.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://caltrain-hsr.blogspot.com/2016/09/emu-brochure.html |title=EMU Brochure |date=20 September 2016 |author=Tilliertrucks, Clem |website=Caltrain HSR Compatibility Blog |access-date=18 January 2019}}</ref> A Stadler brochure showsgiving the seventh car isEMU a passengertotal trailerof with twoeight powered trucks.<ref name=Stadler2023/><ref name=Stadler7/>
