Governments and utility companies have introduced a range of funding programs to incentivize the transition to electric vehicles for fleets.
These programs are designed to help fleet owners and operators overcome the higher upfront costs of electric vehicles and accelerate the deployment of more sustainable transportation solutions. Fleet operators can access federal, state, tribal, local, and utility funding programs to purchase electric vehicles and install charging infrastructure.
Below, find a few examples of some of the larger federal, state, and utility incentive programs available. These are provided as examples only, and Workhorse encourages fleets to contact our team to discover the incentive programs for which their team is eligible.
