EVs in Government Fleets
“State and local governments around the country could save a total of nearly $11 billion in lifetime expenses by purchasing EVs as opposed to gasoline-powered vehicles for their light-duty fleets over the next 10 years.”
The efficiency and low maintenance associated with electric vehicles allow fleet owners to maximize their transportation budget and achieve decarbonization goals.
Hawaii recognizes this, and it has been active in transitioning its fleet. In 2021, the State passed Act 74, a law prioritizing the procurement of low-zero emission vehicles. The State has also leveraged an innovative ‘EVs as a Service’ strategy to accelerate the transition.
