The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) offers technical support to federal agencies interested in acquiring electric vehicles (EV) and installing electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). This includes direct consultations and virtual Tiger Team visits, in which fleet experts and engineers can review EVSE needs and electrical equipment.

Deploying EVs and EVSE

The Deploying Electric Vehicles and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment fact sheet describes how FEMP helps federal agencies electrify fleets and deploy charging infrastructure through on-site and virtual EVSE Tiger Team site assessments.

EVSE Tiger Team Site Assessment Findings from Department of Defense Facilities

Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz is working with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command to plan EVSE deployments and solar photovoltaic installation at the new base.

Tiger Teams made 30 visits to Army garrisons from 2016 through 2019, which are detailed in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory report, Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Tiger Team Site Assessment Findings from Army Facilities.

Camp Lejeune partnered with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to plan for the deployment of EVs and the installation of EV charging stations. This partnership included completing EVSE site assessments for fleet vehicles stationed at 14 different parking lots at Camp Lejeune.
