Electrify Your Fleet is a first-come, first-served grant aimed at providing funding support to Vermont-based businesses, non-profit organizations, shared mobility services, and municipalities for the replacement of inefficient, fossil-fueled forms of fleet transport with new plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). The State will provide a vehicle rebate up to two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) to replace a single fossil fueled vehicle currently operating within a municipal, commercial, or non-profit fleet, with up to five (5), five-thousand-dollar ($5,000) rebates for nonprofit shared mobility services to replace or avoid the purchase of a fossil-fueled vehicle with an electric vehicle. Up to twenty (20) vehicle rebates total are available to a single applicant. A secondary purpose of the program is to establish a robust and affordable used electric vehicle market within the next several years as fleets turn over through the resale of incentivized vehicles within the State of Vermont.
