Challenge

The Sustainable Growth Coalition, a business-led partnership aimed at equitably advancing corporate sustainability, has been convening conversations to discuss how organizations are navigating the transition to electric vehicles in their fleets and supply chains.

As a result of those meetings, Coalition members sought to create a database to assist corporate fleet managers and sustainability practitioners throughout the process. The group then conducted a landscape scan to audit available materials.

Below is a summary of resources curated by the Coalition.

Minnesota EV Transition Resources

Fleet Electrification Toolkit

Led by the Great Plains Institute, Drive Electric Minnesota hosts a fleet electrification toolkit that includes guides on vehicle selection, purchasing, leasing, and best practices.

Electric Vehicle Resource Database

Drive Electric Minnesota maintains a database which categorizes electric vehicle resources across a range of criteria, including audience, author, and geography.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan

The Minnesota Department of Transportation develops a yearly plan that identifies investments in fast charging along the state’s Alternative Fuel Corridors — I-94 and I-35.

National EV Transition Resources

Fleet Electrification Solutions Center

Environmental Defense Fund provides vetted company fleet electrification resources for Class Three to Eight vehicles. The site includes a transition checklist and expertise from leaders in the space.

EV Utility Finder

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy offers a downloadable electric vehicle utility finder. Users can search for current utilities, contacts, and incentives.
