Fleet Electrification Phases
The federal fleet electrification process is divided into three phases, each with a distinct approach for key stakeholders.
Planning Phase: Includes identifying and training your team, supporting overall fleet planning and strategy, identifying ZEV and EV charging opportunities, and financial planning.
Design Phase: Includes engaging with your priority staff and utility, designing EVSE and evaluating infrastructure requirements, and obtaining leadership and financial commitment.
ZEV Active Phase: Means you have completed all the designated ZEV Ready steps and are ready to acquire ZEVs and install EVSE at your location.
