West Coast Electric Fleets – Helping West Coast fleets lead the charge on ZEV adoption

Washington State Doubles its EV Fleet on Eve of Earth Day 2017

Washington State is doubling its electric vehicle (EV) fleet by adding long range, zero-emission vehicles, and encouraging other organizations in the state to follow suit. Adding electric vehicles with a 200-plus mile range will help the state improve air quality and save taxpayer dollars. Find out more
West Coast Electric Fleets is creating a new, more aggressive zero-emission vehicle procurement commitment tier to support and recognize the increasingly ambitious commitments to zero-emission vehicles made by partner fleets over the past year. This Diamond Lane procurement commitment allows partner fleets to define their own target that reaches beyond 10% of new vehicle procurement being zero emission vehicles.
