摘要：	Decarbonizing our transportation system is one of the top challenges of our time and comes with several considerations, including social equi-ty, resiliency and safety. To this end, an increasing number of govern-merit agencies and fleet operators across the country are transitioning their fleets to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to minimize their carbon footprint. California took the lead, with New York and other states quickly following suit. The federal government has provided financial incentives to governments and public agencies who successfully convert 100 percent of their light-duty non-emergency vehicle fleets to ZEVs by 2035 and 100 percent of their medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleet to ZEVs by 2040. Despite these ambitious plans, to date, the incorporation of zero-emission technology, most notably, of battery electric and hydrogen fuel cells, has been slow, primarily due to the complexity and expense of installing the needed charging/ fueling infrastructure, as well as power requirements and the anxiety of fleet operators around these developing technologies. These problems were further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted supply chains and slowed production.
