West Coast Electric Fleets (WCEF) promoted the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in fleets as a strategy for growing the broader West Coast ZEV market.

Members included some of the largest state and city fleets on the West Coast, as well as utility and private fleets. Through webinars and in-person events, WCEF created a network to help fleets achieve their sustainability goals and motivate them to adopt ZEVs. Our online toolkit connected partners to resources that help them assess how ZEVs can best meet their operational needs and save money.

Implementation Partners

To sustain and strengthen West Coast Electric Fleets, WCEF sought opportunities to work with public, private, and non-profit Implementation Partners that could help fleets seize opportunities and overcome barriers to ZEV adoption. Together, fleets and Implementation Partners worked to accelerate technological innovation, drive infrastructure investment, and reinforce policies to help transform the market for ZEVs. Implementation Partners included:

• Vehicle and equipment manufacturers and dealers
• Fleet service providers
• Charging infrastructure providers
• Non-profit organizations promoting ZEV policy and
• market development

Examples of how Implementation Partners supported the work of fleets include:

• Contributing information and services to help fleets understand opportunities for ZEVs
• Sponsoring outreach events (e.g., ride-and-drives)
• Providing technical assistance
• Providing purchasing incentives (e.g., through bulk discounts of equipment or services).
