Description
The Fleet-ZERO program, administered by the Colorado Energy Office, provides competitive grants to support the electrification of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty fleet vehicles via installation of EV charging infrastructure across Colorado. Funding is available for a variety of project types, including private depot charging, shared, public, and semi-public fleet charging, and fleet charging-as-a-service. The program places strong emphasis on investments in communities disproportionately impacted by transportation emissions and offers enhanced incentives for qualifying entities such as small businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies. The initiative is a key component of Colorado’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and accelerate the transition to zero-emission fleets.
