Fleet-ZERO is a grant program that offers funding for installing electric vehicle (EV) charging to support the transition of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty on- and off-road fleet vehicles and equipment throughout Colorado to EVs. The program is designed to accelerate the transition of fossil-fuel-powered fleet vehicles and equipment to zero-emission electric alternatives by increasing access to private depot charging; shared, public, and semi-public fleet charging; and fleet charging-as-a-service (CaaS) through reduced cost barriers to fleet EV charging deployments.
The goals of the Fleet-ZERO program are to:
- Encourage the installation of EV charging for fleets throughout Colorado
- Increase the number of fleet EVs throughout Colorado
- Accelerate the transition of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty on- and off-road fleet vehicles and equipment to EVs
- Reduce harmful pollution and emissions from diesel and gasoline fleet vehicles and equipment
- Improve public health and protect the environment while reducing fueling costs
- Support equity and environmental justice by prioritizing the transition of high-emission fleet vehicles and equipment to EVs in disproportionately impacted communities and offering enhanced incentives for qualifying entities
- Collect data on the utilization of fleet EV charging throughout Colorado
- Implement the goals of the Colorado EV Plan and Colorado Clean Truck Strategy.
Funding Information
Up to $500,000 per awardee, per round.
