Technology

  • Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with basic fuel tracking
  • Telematics for mileage and fuel use logging
  • Higher fuel efficiency ICE or hybrid vehicles

Process

  • Conducting baseline fleet emissions inventory (Scope 1)
  • Driver training for fuel-efficient operation
  • Establishing a fleet replacement cycle policy
  • Route optimization to reduce unnecessary mileage

Financing

  • Standard fleet procurement via internal capital or auto leases
  • State and federal incentives for fuel-efficient vehicles accessed on a project-by-project basis

Technology

  • Fundamental technologies +
  • Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) integrated into fleet mix
  • Fleet management software for real-time tracking and reporting
  • Level 2 EV charging at key facilities

Process

  • Defining an EV transition roadmap with vehicle-by-vehicle replacement schedule
  • Evaluating total cost of ownership (TCO) of EVs vs. ICE vehicles
  • Assessing charging needs and site electrical capacity constraints

Financing

  • IRA federal tax credits (up to $7,500/vehicle) accessed directly
  • Utility rebates for EV charging infrastructure applied per site

Technology

  • Market standard technologies +
  • Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as primary fleet replacement strategy
  • DC fast charging (DCFC) deployed at high-utilization depots
  • AI-powered routing and charging optimization software

Process

  • Conducting grid impact studies and utility interconnection planning for charging loads
  • Integrating fleet electrification with energy procurement strategy (Scope 2 alignment)
  • Evaluating managed charging to shift load and reduce demand charges

Financing

  • Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) or EV leasing models to shift CAPEX to OPEX
  • Charging infrastructure financed via third-party ownership with performance guarantees

Technology

  • Above average technologies +
  • 100% BEV fleet with V2G (vehicle-to-grid) capability
  • Bidirectional charging integrated with on-site solar and/or storage microgrid
  • Fleet as a distributed energy resource (DER) participating in grid services

Process

  • Fleet emissions tracked in real-time and reported against science-based targets (SBTs)
  • V2G dispatch optimized for emissionality (not just price signals) across the grid
  • Fleet strategy integrated with broader microgrid and energy management platform

Financing

  • Bundled financing across fleet, charging, solar, and storage as integrated infrastructure package
  • V2G revenue streams and grid services monetized to offset fleet costs
