A new $3 million program will help Michigan businesses to switch their fleets to electric vehicles. The PowerMIFleet program from Consumers Energy will offer rebates of up to $50,000 each to companies that install E-V charging stations. Brian Wheeler from Consumers Energy says any size operation can take part.
“It could be just a business that has one vehicle, a delivery van, or it could be a school district. It could be a local government, or it could be a business that might have dozens of vehicles,” Wheeler said.
The International Energy Agency estimates as of last year, nearly 1.8 million Americans owned electric vehicles. That’s three times the number just four years earlier. Ford Motor Company has announced it expects 40-% of its business to be electric vehicles by 2030.
