Moving Government Fleets Beyond the Vehicle Purchase: EV as a Service

September 2, 2026

A few years ago, the idea of creating a complete electric vehicle “package” for your fleet might have felt out of reach. Now, ⁠Electric Vehicles as a Service ⁠has moved beyond simply providing vehicles and toward supporting the full deployment. 

The idea of EVaaS boils down to a growing need for fleets to keep up with new electrification mandates and a shift toward treating electrification as a complete operational system. 

Government Fleet sat down with Sustainability Partners CEO Adam Cain to discuss how EVaaS is moving beyond pilot programs and what fleets should consider before beginning a larger deployment.  

Points of Interest:

VaaS (Electric Vehicles as a Service) now offers full deployment support for fleets, not just vehicles.

• Comparing EVaaS costs to ownership must account for infrastructure, repairs, and operational continuity, not just vehicle price.

• EVaaS contracts often link payments to vehicle and infrastructure availability, unlike traditional financing.

• Effective transition to EVaaS demands comprehensive planning, accurate fleet data, and anticipation of future expansion needs.
