CEC Grant Funds can be used to purchase non-road Electric Vehicles. EVs of this type are not manufactured for road use, and are instead intended for specific purposes or worksites, or off-road activity. These can include:
ATVs and UTVs
Forklifts
Snowmobiles
Excavators
Pavers
Front-End Loaders
Tractors
Street Sweepers
Cement and Mortar Mixtures
Aerial Lifts
Backhoes
and more. Advances in EV technology have increased the types of equipment with battery electric equivalents.
How to Get Started
Interested municipalities should begin exploring options, including sourcing estimates. A completed Municipal Fleet Inventory can help in the prioritization of equipment replacement.
