Fleet Group Editor Chris Brown sits down with San Joaquin County Fleet Manager Kevin Myose about how the county is actively working to electrify its fleet while staying within budget.
The Pennsylvania city will be adding 36 electric vehicles thanks to funding from the American Rescue Plan, as well as electric police bikes through the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program.
The funding will help support the installation of 100 fast chargers, primarily for the city’s electric vehicle fleet, and some for public use.
The $7 million grant program offers government entities in the state more incentives to upgrade fleets and infrastructure.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection grants will go toward 20 cleaner fuel transportation projects statewide.
The City of Woodland will be incorporating these vehicles into its maintenance fleet.
Fleet managers say they need more affordable vehicles and more types of vehicles to electrify — and that grant funding should go to small cities and towns.
The program includes a $10 million commitment to fund light-, medium-, and heavy-duty battery electric vehicles.
The grant will be used to purchase and install 30 Level 2 chargers and a DC fast charger for the city’s growing electric vehicle fleet.
Chautauqua County, N.Y., officials recently met with Doreen M. Harris, acting President and CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), to showcase the results of a NYSERDA grant secured by the county in January 2019.
