Electric fleet pilot program

PILOT OVERVIEW

The Fleet Make-Ready pilot program offers advisory services and tailor-made incentives to support the design and construction costs associated with behind-the-meter EV charging infrastructure. Qualified participants can receive a custom incentive covering project design, engineering, permitting and construction costs for their electrical infrastructure and installation of electric vehicle service equipment (not including the actual charger).

Please review the eligibility requirements, Customer Participation Agreement and the Readiness Checklist before applying.

Not sure where to start? We also offer technical assistance through an on-site feasibility analysis and customized technical fleet advising to help you evaluate your options and costs.
