CleanBC Go Electric Fleets Program

Go Electric Fleets Program participants will have the opportunity to access one-on-one guidance on best practices, tools, and new technology developments, with particular focus on life-cycle cost calculators and other beneficial tools. Additionally, participants may be invited to participate in  peer-learning case studies to share lessons learned.

In addition, FBC will host an annual WCEF symposium. The objective of the sessions will be to assist fleets in meeting their WCEF pledge goals. This training should be designed to increase uptake and effectiveness of the program elements and allow for a networking opportunity to learn and share ideas on the best practices for ZEV adoption.

ZEV Fleet Advisor services are open to Program participants with  fleets comprised of either light-duty vehicles or a  mix of light, medium or heavy-duty vehicles.
