Identify the agencies, officials, and partners whose buy-in, input, resources, and expertise you’ll need for fleet electrification.
These decision makers, stakeholders, and partners will identify the pathways, policies, and processes by which to meet fleet electrification goals. Key decision makers and partners include the governor’s office, fleet managers, fleet maintenance staff, state sustainability and/or climate staff, agency heads, finance department staff, vehicle operators, and representatives from relevant public utilities. A core team should meet regularly to track progress toward fleet electrification goals, troubleshoot when barriers arise, identify funding opportunities, and review cost savings and emissions reductions.
Utilities are invaluable partners in transportation electrification. They can help determine power needs, site charging infrastructure, advise on charging rates and schedules, and provide expertise on vehicle-to-grid technologies.
Cities can also serve as valuable partners to states, as many cities have fleet electrification goals, sustainability goals, and carbon emissions reduction targets. Cities can share lessons learned and best practices and participate in group-buys of electric vehicles to reduce procurement costs.
