President Biden announced in January his goal for the U.S. to begin electrifying its federal vehicle fleet. The move, he said, signals “the largest mobilization of public investment in procurement, infrastructure, and R&D since World War Two.” For central players in the EV ecosystem, the idea of transitioning the federal fleet to electric presents both opportunities and challenges.
Location Analytics in the Move to Electrify Fleets
Some U.S. states, such as California and New York, are more prepared to support fleet electrification. They show more charging infrastructure and higher EV ownership overall than other states. Some of these same regions also show high numbers of federal fleet vehicles. Meanwhile, other states that operate a fair number of government fleet vehicles have a very low capacity for electrification, and few EV owners per capita.
These insights are key to understanding the full picture of where the Biden administration may seek to begin electrifying the federal fleet.
In BlastPoint’s newest report, U.S. Federal Fleet Electrification: Opportunities & Challenges, we explore these insights and more.
