Primary Address (Zip code)

Your primary address is where your fleet vehicles return each day, also referred to as a Domicile Address. This could be separate from where your vehicles charge.

Fleet Size

Your fleet size is the total number of vehicles in your fleet globally above 8,500 lbs. combined.

Government or Non-Government Fleet

A government fleet is owned by a state or local government agency (including a school district, municipality, city, county, special district, transit district, joint powers authority, or port authority, owning fleets purchased with government funds), and a tribal government or native village. The term “State” means the several States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Examples of non-government fleets are businesses, private transportation contractors, drayage fleets, etc.

Vehicle Type

The type of new battery-electric vehicle that you would use funding to purchase. The following weight classes are assumed for each vehicle type:

Tractor: Class 8
Straight Truck: Class 6/7
Class 4/5 On-Road Truck: Class 4/5
School Bus – Type A: Class 4/5
School Bus – Type C: Class 6/7
School Bus – Type D: Class 8
Refuse Truck: Class 8
Drayage Truck: Class 8
Shuttle Bus: Class 4/5
Transit Bus: Class 7/8
Paratransit Bus: Class 4/5
Utility Truck: Class 4/5
Panel Van: Class 4/5
Step Van: Class 4/5

Vehicle Quantity

How many new battery-electric vehicles are you looking to purchase and request funding for.

Turn-in Vehicles Available?

A turn-in vehicle is a vehicle that you can scrap or “turn-in” in exchange for funding that would go towards the purchase of a new battery-electric replacement vehicle.

Specific funding programs may have requirements for the fuel type and engine model year of the turn-in vehicle in order to qualify for the program.

Turn-in Vehicle Fuel Type

The type of fuel your current vehicle(s) uses. Depending on the funding program, certain vehicle types may qualify for more funding when they are scrapped and replaced because they produce more emissions when in operation.

Eligible Fuel Types Include:
CNG: Compressed Natural Gas
Diesel
LNG: Liquefied Natural Gas
Propane
Gasoline

Not every program requires a turn-in vehicle.

Age of Turn-in Vehicle

The model year of the engine in your existing vehicle. Certain funding programs require applicants to scrap vehicles with engines within a set model year range, with the goal of removing the most emission-producing vehicles from operation first.

Plan to use Public Charging Infrastructure

Public infrastructure is defined as EV Charging Equipment that are open to the public to use. This can be an EV charging station, a Charing-as-a-Service location, or another off-site EV charging solution that you do not privately own or operate. If you select that you plan to use public charging infrastructure, you will not receive results for funding programs for EV Charging Stations.

Number of EV Charging Stations Needed

The number of EV Chargers you will need to charge your new battery-electric vehicles. This will help determine how much funding you may qualify for. Recommended ratios for vehicles to EV Charging Stations include 1:1 and 2 Vehicles:1 Charging Station.

Do you Run: One Shift or Multiple Shifts per Truck per Day?

Selecting More Than One Shift per Day will default to a Direct Current (DC) Fast Charger because the available window for charging is shorter (up to 4 hours).

Selecting One Shift per Day will default to a Level 2 charger because the available window for charging is longer (up to 12 hours).

If you select a vehicle that is Class 6 or above, a DC Fast Charger is assumed.

Max Available per Applicant

The total amount of funding available per applicant, per program. Some funding programs have “caps” in place to limit the total amount of funding one applicant can receive, other funding programs have no caps in place.

Funding Available Per Vehicle

The amount of funding available per vehicle.

Most funding programs cap the amount of funding available per vehicle, either by a dollar amount or a percent of the vehicle cost.

Amount Ideally Requested from Program

The total amount of funding that the applicant is requesting from the program for their project.

This is calculated by:
Number of Vehicles X Funding Available Per Vehicle

Amount Available from Program for Applicant

The total amount of funding that is available for the applicant, for the number of vehicles that they are requesting funding for. 

This is calculated by:
Number of Vehicles X Funding Per Vehicle, not to exceed the total program funding 

This is different from the “Amount Ideally Requested from Program” because the applicant could be requesting more funding than is available through the program. 

Total Vehicle Cost

The total cost for vehicles, based on the assumed costs in Step 1.

This is calculated by:
Number of Vehicles X Vehicle Cost

Total Program Funding for Vehicles

The sum of total funding available from all programs, for vehicles.

Total Applicant Match Share

The remaining amount not covered by funding. This is what the applicant is responsible for paying or financing themselves.

Stacking Cap

The maximum amount that multiple programs and funding sources can be combined or “stacked”, typically a percentage of the total vehicle or EV charger cost.

Funding Available per EV Charging Station

The amount of funding available per EV Charging Station.

Most funding programs cap the amount of funding available per EV Charging Station either by a dollar amount, or a percent of the equipment cost.

Amount Ideally Requested from Program

The total amount of funding that the applicant is requesting from the program.

This is calculated by:
Number of EV Charging Stations X Funding Available Per EV Charging Station

Amount Available from Program for Applicant

The total amount of funding that is available for the applicant, for the EV Charging Station(s) that they are requesting funding for.

This is calculated by:
Number of EV Charging Stations X Funding Per EV Charging Station, not to exceed the total program funding

This is different than the “Amount Ideally Requested from Program” because the applicant could be requesting more funding than is available through the program.

Total EV Charging Station Cost

The total cost for EV Charging Stations, based on the assumed costs in Step 1.

This is calculated by:
Number of EV Charging Stations X Cost per Equipment

Total Program Funding for EV Charging Stations

The sum of total funding available from all programs, for EV Charging Equipment.

Cost

This is the total estimated cost of your project—without any funding applied.

Funding

This is the total funding available for your project—this is how much you’re saving by utilizing funding.

Match Share

The remaining amount not covered by funding. This is what you are responsible for paying or financing.
