Public Fleet Electrification Program
GovEV: Electrification for public fleets
The GovEV program provides free technical assistance, project planning, and funding to public agencies for new electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure for their fleets.
Overview
How the program works
Our GovEV Program provides comprehensive planning (at no cost to your agency) and funding to guide your fleet transition to EVs, including:
EV fleet replacement plan
Fleet EV charging needs assessment
Charging installation plans
Permit-ready plans (if needed)
Funding overview
Energy optimization plan
Energy management services (optional)
Program Eligibility & Requirements
Who is eligible?
All public agencies located within Peninsula Clean Energy’s service territory can apply, and all vehicle classes are eligible.
Public agency fleets must commit to replace at least five vehicles or install at least five EV chargers within 12 months and agree to share ongoing charging data with Peninsula Clean Energy. A full list of requirements is available in the Fleet Customer Participation Agreement (PDF).
Program Funding
How can the funding be used?
Funds from the GovEV Program can be used for the incremental cost of EV replacements, EV charging equipment and installation, and energy management services.
Peninsula Clean Energy’s funding contribution is based on the remaining project costs after other grants and rebates are applied. The technical assistance team will advise you about which programs are the best value for your specific project.
Eligible project costs not otherwise covered by rebates or grants

Peninsula Clean Energy’s EV Ready program provides funds for Level 2 charging stations, make-ready infrastructure, and other charging equipment that may be a good fit for many light-duty fleets.
NOTE: Fleets may be eligible for funds from either the Public GovEV Program or the EV Ready program, but not both.
