Criteria

13.1 Percentage of fleet vehicles that are electric vehicles

An institution earns 2 points when all of the cars, vans, trucks, and buses in its fleet are electric vehicles, i.e., zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) and/or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Incremental points are available and earned as outlined in the Technical Manual.

Measurement

Report the most recently available data from within the previous three years.

Include all motorized light, medium, and heavy-duty cars, vans, trucks, and buses (including, for example, delivery trucks, step and panel vans, refuse trucks, coaches and school buses, tractor-trailer tractors, and utility vehicles) that are owned or leased by the institution. Vehicles designed for off-road use (e.g., forklifts, mowers, tractors, and agricultural equipment) and highly specialized vehicles for which no zero-emission alternatives are readily available may be excluded.


Applicability

Applicable to institutions that own or lease motorized cars, vans, trucks, and/or buses.
