Houston’s Move to EV Fleet by 2030

What’s happening? Houston is expanding its EV fleet with a transition anticipated in 2030. The city anticipates recouping about $55 million of that cost in fuel savings and avoided maintenance costs

Why is this important? The current fleet is 15 EVs. This year it is adding 100 EV light duty trucks and transit vans.

How will this be important? The charger roll out will be 3 phases. (1) replace 42 chargers destroyed by Hurricane Harvey. (2) add chargers at police and fire stations (3) add chargers to parks and other city-owned spots.
