On June 8, Greenlots, a global provider of open standards-based distributed energy resource solutions, announced it has partnered with the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and BMW of North America on a new electric vehicle (EV) program to help the City achieve its clean transportation goals as part of Mayor Garcetti's Sustainability pLAn.
Greenlots will supply 100 Level 2 chargers and four DC fast chargers to LAPD, and integrate its software with LAPD's Fleet management program. This will represent the largest electric vehicle fleet and charging installation to ever serve a police department and underscores the City's dedication to improving Los Angeles' air quality by adopting innovative transportation solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Los Angeles currently has a 50% EV procurement guideline for all new light duty fleet vehicles, which will go to 80% by 2025 as called for in the Los Angeles Sustainable City pLAn. Together, the City and Greenlots will show how state of the art EV infrastructure and next-generation load management technology can reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of LAPD's electric fleet, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. When the LAPD building is nearing peak capacity, SKY will reduce the charging load based on priority, allowing LAPD to optimally charge electric vehicles while avoiding overloading the building.
This spring, BMW will supply 100 BMW i3 electric vehicles to Los Angeles Police Department headquarters downtown. The goal of the LAPD is to add 500 more vehicles over the next five years. Greenlots will provide LAPD and the City of Los Angeles with a custom fleet charging and reporting system.

On April 8, 2015, Mayor Eric Garcetti released L.A.'s first-ever Sustainable City pLAn. The pLAn is both a roadmap to achieve back to basics short-term results while setting the path to strengthen and transform our City in the decades to come.
