Two case studies outline how Houston and Loveland are saving money with EVs in their fleets

Green Car Congress

The Electrification Coalition released two case studies outlining how two cities— Houston, Texas and Loveland, Colorado —are saving money by using electric vehicles (EVs) in their vehicle fleets. Loveland is now aiming to convert all of its light-duty fleet vehicles that work within a close distance of the city to EVs.
