Electric Vehicle Fleet Implications and Analysis

This project evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of electrical vehicles used in fleet operations by examining polices and using case studies. Evaluations included the use of EVs in existing fleet operations with considerations for light, medium and heavy vehicles used in civilian, commercial, local government and military applications. Policy regulations were also reviewed. The results can be used to evaluate other fleet vehicle applications, to determine how EV fleet adoptions could impact overall rates of EV market penetration and to determine the programs or incentives that can be used to encourage EV fleets.
