Fleet Advisory Services

We are offering no-cost Fleet Advisory Services to publicly owned fleets. The program assists public fleets with comprehensive advisory services to navigate the complex journey to vehicle electrification, create fleet electrification plans, and estimate total cost of ownership savings.

Public fleet customers include:

  • Public Transit Agencies
  • School Buses
  • Municipalities
  • Federal or State fleets
  • Public Universities

Preference will be given to eligible fleets that serve or operate in Environmental Justice Communities.

We are partnering with ICF to offer Fleet Advisory Services. Please visit the MA Fleet Advisory Services Program to enroll.
 

Fleet EV Off-Peak Charging Program

The Fleet EV Off-Peak Charging Program allows customers to earn rebates when charging commercial EVs during designated off-peak times.

The program is available to all fleets, including private and government-owned commercial vehicles.

Additional details coming soon.

Fleet Frequently Asked Questions

For questions and information applying to all EV charging station programs visit our general FAQ webpage

Topic: Fleet Transition

Yes! The National Grid MA Fleet Advisory Services Program provides free, expert analysis to help you understand how shifting publicly owned vehicle fleets to electric power sources can benefit your organization and your community. Please see the MA Fleet Advisory Services Program website for additional information.

To accelerate and facilitate the adoption of ZE trucks, some fleets can access voucher incentive programs that bring down the upfront costs of the vehicles. Many vehicle fleets in Massachusetts are now eligible for purchase incentives through MOR-EV, offered by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources. For more information, visit: the MOR-EV Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles website.

The Zero-Emission Technology Inventory (ZETI) tool is an online resource used for cataloging worldwide, commercially available offerings of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. ZETI provides comprehensive information, including regions where certain brands are available for purchase, timelines for future models, and model specifications and details.

Topic: Fleet Incentive Levels

The Fleet EV Charging Program EVSE rebates are available to all publicly owned fleets, including government fleets, public transit, and schools.

Incentive dollars are allocated throughout the program duration (four years) based on demand and how quickly projects are completed. National Grid encourages customers to apply as early as possible as incentive dollars are available on a first-come-first-serve basis and National Grid cannot guarantee funding will be available at the end of 2026 if there is significant demand.

For the Fleet EV Charging Program, there is not a minimum or maximum port requirement per project. If the EV chargers will be accessible to the public, then the project will receive incentives based on the Public and Workplace EV Charging Program, which does have specific guidelines for project size. The Fleet EV Charging Program has a limited budget. As such, the program will approve infrastructure incentives for each specific project to maintain an equitable distribution of program incentives across customer groups as well as specific customers. For a summary of the EV charger rebates for fleet operators, see tables below:
