New Mexico’s Vehicles as a Service program will advance through a new contract between Nuvve, a California-based electric vehicle charging technology developer, and the state.
The contract is designed to facilitate fleet electrification for electric school buses and the state’s “white fleet” vehicles. White fleet refers to state-owned vehicles that are typically painted white and used for various governmental functions, such as administrative cars, maintenance trucks and other service vehicles used by state agencies.
Nuvve told pv magazine USA that the electricity that will charge the electric fleets is still being determined, but Nuvve is expected to announce the first project by the end of Q2. However, Nuvve added that their projects typically incorporate solar panels, citing a recent project with Fresno, California as an example.
New Mexico’s fleet electrification and its supporting infrastructure, Nuvve estimates, has a total addressable market of approximately $400 million. The contract is structured as a statewide price agreement to enable long-term progress across the state.
