Frederick announces plans for electric fleet

Frederick County is accelerating its plans to increase its energy sustainability with the goal of having an entirely electric fleet by 2036.

Jessica Fitzwater, the County Executive, revealed the 2036 goal at Hood College for the 2024 Climate Summit. She also unveiled the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Fleet Transition Plan for County Government, as well as the Community-wide Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan.

Fitzwater went on to say:
“With these plans, we are turning sustainability ideals into meaningful actions. As our transportation infrastructure evolves, we also support innovation and economic growth. Our goal is to ensure a resilient future for Frederick County’s businesses and residents.”

In 2020, Frederick County pledged to cut emissions of greenhouse gases in half by 2030, and completely by 2050. To accomplish this, the county has produced an Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan, which looks at methods to increase the total amount of charging stations.

Official government documents are likely to be presented on Stationery that features a letterhead.

The plan also includes analyzing the obstacles to EV (electric vehicle) ownership, the charging requirements, and the expenses and advantages of owning an electric car. There are also policy considerations, such as amending building regulations, and local legislation. Discovering financial options, such as grants and rebates, are also discussed in the plan.

The county currently has five hybrid electric cars, one electric van, and nine electric-powered buses.
