Action Requested
Approve by motion, staff s recommendation to lease a hybrid vehicle in 2018.
Background/Discussion
Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) commissioned FleetCarma to conduct an Electric Vehicle
Suitability Assessment during 2017. Their software tracked data from current vehicles in the ERMU and
city fleets to determine potential options for electric or hybrid vehicles.
Twenty vehicles were monitored for daily utilization, fuel economy,idling time, and potential savings if
they were replaced with hybrid or electric alternatives. The report includes total cost of savings, emissions
reductions, and fuel reductions.
Staff is requesting Council direction to lease a hybrid vehicle in 2018 and consider purchasing a full
electric vehicle in 2019.
Financial Impact
None, the hybrid lease for 2018 was budgeted for in the Equipment Replacement fund.

Planning for EV Adoption with Confidence
■ What will my electricity costs be?
■ What will my fuel economy be?
■ What is myoperating cost per mile?
■ How long will my EV fleet need to charge for?
■ What's my payback using my criteria?
■ What about my maintenance costs
■ Will we need BEVs or PHEVs?
■ What charging infrastructure will we need?
