Placing the large-scale adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) at the center of its “all of government” approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change, the Biden administration is pursuing the ambitious goal of transitioning all government fleets to ZEVs.

On Jan. 27, 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order mandating collaboration among federal agencies to develop a plan that leverages procurement authorities to achieve “clean and zero-emission vehicles for federal, state, local, and tribal government fleets, including vehicles of the United States Postal Service.” On Dec. 8, 2021, the president issued another executive order further instructing the federal government to achieve “100 percent zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035, including 100 percent zero-emission light-duty vehicle acquisitions by 2027.” And on May 3, 2022, the Government Services Administration awarded new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Blanket Purchase Agreements intended to make it easier for federal entities to buy EVSE. The agency made awards to 16 successful offerors, nine of them small businesses.
