From sedans to pickup trucks to vans, state and local governments in the United States own more than 4 million vehicles – nearly all of them powered by gasoline or diesel fuel. Buying, fueling and maintaining these vehicles is expensive.

Electric vehicles (EVs) often cost less to own and operate over time than gasoline-powered vehicles, with operating savings on fuel and maintenance more than compensating for any additional purchase costs. By transitioning to electric fleets as fossil fuel vehicles retire, state and local governments can save significant amounts of money for taxpayers.
