Remove Fuel Price Volatility
Budget more predictable fueling costs with electricity, reducing exposure to fluctuating fossil fuel prices.
EV Charging Infrastructure Partner
As part of the global energy transition, widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption has quickly taken hold for public and private organizations alike. This shift includes initiatives ranging from installing EV charging stations in public spaces to fully transitioning light-, medium-, and heavy-duty fleets to electrification. Fleet electrification is a multifaceted process that requires navigating several disciplines, working with multiple vendors, and addressing complex challenges.
Ameresco serves as a trusted partner to help customers navigate this journey so that they don’t need to face fleet electrification alone. We specialize in developing, installing, operating, and maintaining EV charging infrastructure systems tailored to the needs of various sectors.

Our expertise spans K-12 school districts’ school bus fleets, municipal public transportation vehicle fleets, and commercial delivery and logistics fleets. Additionally, we have extensive experience delivering EV charging infrastructure solutions as part of integrated projects on customer properties– for example, installing EV chargers as part of solar carport systems, microgrids, and energy efficiency upgrades. The transition to electrified fleets is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Ameresco guides organizations through a comprehensive planning process to identify the technologies and steps that align with their current operations and future goals.
Why Transition to Alternative Fuels & Electrification?
Public and private entities are increasingly exploring the roadmap and solutions needed to transition their vehicle fleets to electric and alternative fuels. This shift supports carbon reduction initiatives and net zero goals while delivering tangible operational benefits. By deploying low- and zero-emission vehicles alongside supporting infrastructure, organizations can significantly reduce their environmental footprint, improve operational efficiency, and achieve long-term cost savings. Key benefits of fleet transitions include:
Improve Fleet Performance
Benefit from the efficiency of electric drivetrains, which offer better torque, acceleration, and reliability compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
Meet Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility Goals
Align fleet operations with environmental commitments to support decarbonization efforts.
Strengthen Customer & Community Relationships
Demonstrate your dedication to clean energy and environmental stewardship, fostering trust and loyalty among stakeholders.
Access Incentives & Funding Opportunities
Leverage federal, state, and local incentives for EV adoption, charging infrastructure installation, and renewable energy generation.
EV Transition as a Resilience Strategy
While transitioning to electric fleets can serve as a cornerstone of an organization’s decarbonization strategy, it can also be integrated with resiliency solutions to enhance reliability. When combined with distributed energy resources – such as solar, energy storage, and integrated microgrids – an electrified fleet becomes an even more sustainable alternative compared to traditional grid-dependent infrastructure. As a leading energy services provider, Ameresco partners with customers to deploy energy solutions that enhance resilience, reduce carbon footprints, and support long-term sustainability objectives.
EV Charging Infrastructure Project Highlights
Charging as a Service (CaaS): Turnkey Fleet Charging Infrastructure Solution
At Ameresco, we understand the barriers and challenges associated with deploying comprehensive energy infrastructure. Innovative procurement models – like Charging as a Service (CaaS) – provide a holistic, turnkey approach that simplifies fleet electrification while offering ongoing partnership and support to remove these roadblocks. CaaS streamlines fleet charging by encompassing the planning, engineering, installation and operation of all necessary charging equipment at depots to ensure the long-term functionality of the fleet. Through CaaS, Ameresco can help reduce the capital requirement and operational expenditure uncertainty in operating charging infrastructure yourself, enabling fleets to make the transition to electric without interrupting existing operations.
