8 STEPS TO ELECTRIFY YOUR FLEET

Follow through the steps to electrify your fleet. Each featured step includes a comprehensive suite of resources from case studies to legislation pertaining to state fleet electrification.

STEP FIVE: Identify top opportunities

Select applications and vehicles that offer the best near-term opportunity to achieve cost savings and emissions reductions through electrification, based on the results of the analysis. A fleet could choose to begin electrifying certain vehicle classes while performing pilot programs in others.

At this stage, the fleet should explore opportunities for funding assistance through the federal Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act and the Build Back Better Act. For example, a new U.S. EPA program will provide for the total replacement costs of Classes 6 and 7 vehicles. States can also apply for competitive grant funding through U.S. DOT to receive funding for charging infrastructure installation.
