Tesla is coming for Detroit's government fleet business
"Tesla has signed a master purchasing agreement with Sourcewell, which allows public agencies to purchase vehicles without running their own bidding processes. This agreement provides Tesla access to over 50,000 potential buyers in the US and Canada, including cities and school districts."
"The contract allows for an 'indefinite quantity' of sales, meaning there is no cap on how many vehicles agencies can purchase. Tesla can sell small cars, SUVs, vans, and light trucks, and allows for modifications such as wheelchair-accessible ramps and police lights."
"Currently, Tesla has a limited presence in government fleets, with just over 800 vehicles sold to public-sector customers, representing less than 1% of its annual sales. The state of California is its largest municipal customer, purchasing around 500 EVs each year."
"Tesla estimates that there are approximately 1.5 million to 2 million light-duty vehicles operated by state and local agencies in the US, many of which are expected to transition to electric vehicles over time."
