Fleet Make Ready Program
Incentives to help your fleet electrification
Our Fleet Make Ready program helps public fleets and public transportation fleets power up by providing essential support to build EV charging infrastructure. The program provides infrastructure incentives that can cover up to $50,000 for public fleets and up to $200,000 for public transportation fleets. This initiative aims to support light-duty, medium-duty, or heavy-duty fleet owners in their fleet electrification journey.
Benefits of Electrifying Your Fleet
- Lower Fuel Costs: Electricity offers more stable fuel prices and better fuel economy, reducing overall fleet operating expenses.
- Enhanced Performance: Electric vehicles provide maximum torque and smooth acceleration, outperforming internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in various driving conditions.
- Reduced Maintenance: Electric vehicles require less maintenance than conventional vehicles, resulting in lower costs and increased uptime for your fleet.
- Flexible Charging Options: Charge your vehicles at dedicated fleet facilities or public charging stations, ensuring operational flexibility.
- Sustainability Goals: Achieve state and federal standards while reducing greenhouse gas emissions across your fleet.
- Noise Reduction: Minimize noise pollution in urban areas, making your fleet operations quieter and more community-friendly.
