Evergreen is a virtual utility services company focused on energy efficiency programs including fleet electrification. Fleet electrification is viable today as EV costs are comparable or lower than gas vehicles. Utilities offer fleet assessment services. Evergreen is partnering with an electric coop and city to electrify their fleets. The fleet electrification process involves identifying current and future vehicles/needs, determining charging needs, developing an electrification plan, and pursuing funding opportunities. Evergreen representatives are available to answer questions.
