Zero-Emission Vehicle Fleet

The Agency will support the government’s goal of transitioning to a Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) fleet by installing Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and continuing to replace fossil fuel powered vehicles with ZEVs.

NASA’s ZEV strategy includes both NASA-owned and General Services Administration (GSA)-leased vehicles. This is a substantial commitment as the current fleet contains only about 15% ZEVs

Three specially designed, fully electric, environmentally friendly crew transportation vehicles for Artemis missions arrived at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 11, 2023. One of the zero-emission vehicles is shown here at Launch Pad 39B. The fleet, which will carry astronauts to Launch Complex 39B for Artemis missions, was delivered by the manufacturer, Canoo Technologies Inc. of Torrance, California.

What’s Up?

The primary work that is taking place is the development of executable contracts to install Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) across NASA centers. Today, NASA has 68 Level II charging stations and approximately 1,100 will be required to meet operational needs including metering to support an all-electric fleet in the future.
