Vehicle & Equipment Procurement
We've collected some excellent resources to help fleets procure alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure and fund clean transportation projects as easily and inexpensively as possible.

EV Smart Fleets
EV Smart Fleets aims to develop an aggregate purchasing model for electric vehicles. By developing a new type of buying system that could lower costs and expand product availability for EVs, this project supports the Department of Energy’s Clean Cities program and the work they do to decrease the use of petroleum in transportation.
The project developed a Fleet Procurement Analysis tool, which evaluates a variety of electric vehicle purchasing options, providing total cost of ownership information, as well as lifecycle impacts.

Public sector fleets can now buy or lease alternative fuel or electric vehicles at a discount through Fleets for the Future. Learn more at our Fleets for the Future page.
Federal Tax Credit
Car buyers can take advantage of a federal tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500 for battery and plug-in electric vehicles.
