The Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles (EnergIIZE) fund is designed to help California corporations transition from combustion to electric fleets. The grant, which Revolv managed for two of its existing clients, includes a total of US$445,000 in award funding.
As an EnergIIZE-approved vendor, Revolv managed and submitted the comprehensive application to the program to demonstrate project readiness, cost-effectiveness, and community benefits for their fleet electrification programs. And, after a rigorous application process, both Revolv's customers – one based in Orange County and another based in Los Angeles County – were awarded US$367k and US$78k, respectively.
Funded by the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program, EnergIIZE provides reimbursement grants for infrastructure projects that deploy zero-emission vehicle charging for medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial fleets. The Electric Vehicle (EV) Jump Start Funding Lane covers up to 75% of eligible equipment and software costs related to the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of chargers, management software, and electrical infrastructure (including switchgears, panels, conduit, and meters). This funding lane is intended for fleet users who are located in or who have at least 50% of fleet operations in disadvantaged communities.
"Investing in fleet electrification throughout California is crucial for lowering air pollution levels and ensuring fair access to clean air," said Scott Davidson, CEO of Revolv. "Our Revolv team helped two customers, with significant operations in low-income communities, navigate the complex EnergIIZE application process and secure funding for 70% of the infrastructure costs."
