Energize Delaware sends Dover $500,000 to purchase more electric vehicles and electric lawn equipment and boost their charging infrastructure.
Energize Delaware’s EV Fleets for Local Governments program granted Newark $490,000 for electric upgrades back in May and has since supported 20 local and county governments in piloting electric vehicles.
Dover is the latest municipality to receive a grant, upgrading their electric infrastructure for charger installations, purchasing a Chevrolet Bolt, six Ford F-150 Lightning pick-up trucks and two commercial Greenworks electric riding mowers,
Energize Delaware Executive Director Drew Slater says electric lawn mowers are an underrated investment, explaining that traditional lawn mowers can produce 50 times the pollutant of a car.
