Helping fleet operators helps you!

Fleet operators with ZEVs may become some of your largest customers.

• Manage demand

• Operational and infrastructure improvements

• Customer engagement

• Meeting carbon emission reduction goals

8

Building Partnerships

• Set up a kick-off meeting with your local transit agencies

• Coordinate with transit agencies throughout their ZEB deployments

– Educate agencies about your constraints

– Learn about their needs

• Engage with fleet operators when considering ZEV-specific rate structures

Electric Vehicle Leasing Program

Highlights

Presented to: Electrify Indiana

October 8 – 9, 2019

Electric Vehicles

➢ Credits are available for Qualified Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Vehicles under Internal Revenue Code 30D

➢ These federal tax credits for electric vehicles generally start at $7,500, but have thresholds under which the credits reduce

once manufacturers hit sales numbers

▪ For example, GM has hit the threshold, lowering tax credits on those vehicles to $3,750 in 2019 and further reducing by half

in another 6 months

➢ An IRS website provides tax credit information for qualified vehicles: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/irc-30d-new-qualified-

plug-in-electric-drive-motor-vehicle-credit

13

Electric Vehicle Lease Program Highlights

➢ Managed through FCL’s Fleet Management Services team (FleetPartner)

▪ Acquire vehicles through order or out-of-stock sourcing

▪ Leverage available discounts and incentives like NRECA

➢ Available to both taxable and non-taxable electric cooperatives

➢ Available federal tax credits will be incorporated into pricing to the lessee

➢ Lease terms of 3 to 5 years with TRAC residual at end of lease

➢ TRAC residual

▪ Unlimited miles

▪ Residual set based upon expected usage of vehicle

▪ Generally between 20-30%, depending on term

➢ Benefits of leasing

▪ Preserves cash and working capital lines

▪ Fixed rate financing that matches the useful life

▪ Improved fleet management with late-model vehicles, with a planned replacement cycle and reduced repair costs

➢ Please Note: At this time, Tesla vehicles are not eligible under this EV leasing program

Emissions = FUMES - POLLUTION = Poor Air Quality

• HC = HYDROCARBONS – Hydrocarbon emissions are

carcinogenic and a major ingredient of smog. HC emissions are

caused by incomplete combustion, and fuel evaporation from

fuel system leaks and during refueling and transport.

• NOX = OXIDES OF NITROGEN - Oxides of Nitrogen include nitrogen

monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and other nitrogen

oxides. NOx is to blame for the brown haze of polluted cities. NOx

is created during the combustion process, and is a major

contributor to smog formation and acid deposition.

• CO = CARBON MONOXIDE - This colorless, odorless and tasteless

gas is slightly lighter than air. It is poisonous if inhaled since easily

inhibits oxygen transport through the body. CO is produced by

incomplete combustion of fossil fuels.
