Entire Federal Vehicle Fleet to be EVs

The entire US government’s fleet of roughly 230,000 passenger vehicles and 412,000 trucks are planned to be replaced with electric models as the new Biden administration shifts its focus toward EV/clean-energy technologies. The federal fleet vehicles has to be 'Made in America' created by American workers. They are also closing loopholes that majority of key components; steel, glass, electric motors, batteries, etc must be sourced from American suppliers. The 645,000 government vehicles for federal, state, tribal, postal and local fleet use were driven 4.5 billion miles consuming 375 million gallons of gasoline and diesel. Presently there are only 3,215 US-government clean-energy/electric vehicles. The federal EV fleet conversion also includes the plan for building 550,000 charging stations. Followed up by a proposal to convert 500,000 school buses to clean electric power. Auto industry estimates the enormous federal clean electric requirements would create over a million auto worker/supplier jobs.
