State fleet vehicles are a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To meet GHG limits established in RCW 70A.45.050, state agencies need to transition fleet vehicles to battery-electric options. The State Efficiency and Environmental Performance (SEEP) Office is responsible for implementing Executive Order 21-04 (Zero Emission Vehicles) in partnership with the Department of Enterprise Services (DES). To rapidly transition state fleets to battery electric vehicles, SEEP has established vehicle purchase exemption criteria, leads a comprehensive planning and implementation process, and supports investment in Battery Electric Vehicles and EV charging at state facilities.
SAFE is a set of tools for any agency to self-manage EVSE information to provide state employee drivers with better information about charging locations and capabilities across the state. The tools, based on popular cloud-based mapping solutions, consist of:
- Data Entry Tool
- Data Editing Tool
- State Employee Driver Map
- State Employee Driver Feedback Form
Visit the SAFE page for more information about tools and support resources.
Agency implementation plan updates occur every two years. The next update period will be Oct. 1 – Dec. 15, 2025.
EO21-04 requires state executive and small cabinet agencies to submit data and progress reports to SEEP on an annual basis to monitor the state’s progress toward meeting the minimum fleet electrification targets. SEEP is currently collecting annual reporting data from agencies for the 2024 calendar year. Previous annual reports are posted in the Resources section of this page.
On Oct. 1, 2024, state executive and small cabinet agencies received the annual reporting template, which must be completed by Dec. 15, 2024. Agencies should reach out to SEEP@commerce.wa.gov with questions regarding annual reporting or reference the 2024 ZEV Annual Reporting template tutorial video to complete the template.
