Federal Purchases by Vehicle Type
Federal Fleet Electric Vehicle (EV) Purchases
Federal EV sales make up <1% of Light Duty
federal sales. Over the past few years, EV sales
in the U.S. have comprised .39-2.1% of total Light
Duty Sales.
Federal EV sales make up a smaller % of Light
Duty sales than total U.S. Light Duty sales. The
Federal Fleet is a working truck eet and does
not historically buy luxury brands (the brands
which currently dominate U.S. EV sales).
