Guiding Fleets to EV Grants & Incentives

Merchants’ EV team includes specialists that solely focus on discovering and assisting organizations apply for qualifying grants, rebates, and incentives to help reduce the cost of their EV fleet. One unique and innovative incentive the Merchants EV Team identified pays commercial fleets to learn more about EVs in an EV Feasibility Study. Salt River Project, or SRP, is a community-based, not-for-profit organization providing affordable water and power to more than 2 million people in central Arizona as well as providing grants and rebates to businesses for energy savings.

This program compares internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs, considering variables such as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that includes maintenance costs, fuel costs, and environmental impact. If a commercial fleet decides to purchase, lease, or rent EVs after the study is complete, they will be awarded more money.  The total potential for this particular incentive is $14,000 – $20,000 depending on the number and type of vehicles studied (light, medium, and/or heavy duty).

Yes, These Clients Really Got Paid to Learn About EVs

In Q2 2023, Merchants assisted five commercial fleets in utilizing the SRP incentive securing a total value of $88,000.  While this particular program from SRP has ended, our EV experts are ready to help your organization locate other active rebates and incentives in your area. When dealing with time-sensitive programs, it’s always important to act quickly and work with experts to ensure your submitted application meets all requirements. There are many more incentives out there that can help ease the costs of fleet electrification and the associated infrastructure.
