Battery Electric Vehicle Program
Thanks to a clear mandate from the city of Austin’s leadership on developing a BEV program, Fleet Mobility Services has plenty of momentum to make the transition to EVs. Together with Austin Energy and Public Works, they’re able to achieve a focused effort to bring onboard an initial pilot program of 330 battery electric vehicles.
As it stands now, Fleet Mobility Services is currently 260 EVs into their objective. A white paper done several years ago showed that onboarding or replacing ICE vehicles with BEVs would save the city approximately $3.5 million over 10 years in fuel and maintenance costs. This has allowed them to launch their BEV program with full steam ahead. See the full story here https://www.fleetmanagementweekly.com/city-of-austin
