Our corporate fleet goals include transitioning 100% of company sedans and SUVs to electric vehicles by 2030. EV benefits include reduced operating costs for fuel and vehicle maintenance.
We have seen a 53% increase in commercial and residential electric vehicle use across our service territory over the past year.
CenterPoint Energy’s
Fleet Electrification Goals




As one of the first in our industry to field test the first-ever fully-electric bucket truck, we had the opportunity to provide feedback to our peers. Teams from our Spring Branch Service Center in Houston leveraged the technology to install infrastructure that will support an EV charging station at a local car dealership in West Houston.


EV Engagements
In 2023, CenterPoint Energy joined the Electric Power Research Institute’s new three-year initiative, EVs2Scale2030, to ready the electric grid in support of the accelerated development of EV charging infrastructure. This initiative focuses on collaboration with utilities and utility oversight bodies, fleet operators, auto and truck manufacturers, charging providers and consumers.
CenterPoint Energy co-founded Evolve Houston in 2019 to help enable electric transportation solutions. Evolve Houston is a coalition of sustainability-minded civic, business and academic leaders who seek to accelerate cleaner transportation through electrification.
eMobility was formed to improve the economic vitality and air quality in our communities by amplifying the adoption of EVs. We believe that eMobility support will enable customer fleet electrification, while helping customers meet carbon reduction goals and lower operations and maintenance fleet costs in the long term. eMobility is supporting METRO’s electrification of 20 public transportation buses, helping to reach their goal of transitioning their entire public transit fleet to zero-emission vehicles by 2030.
The Clean Air Technologies (CAT) Program focuses on promoting the electrification of various technologies in the greater Houston area. The program supported the initial deployments of EV fast charging networks provided by several private companies. CenterPoint Energy maintains our place as a leader in the local business community by expanding the CAT Program’s efforts to include promoting Electric Transport Refrigeration Units and continuing research in the electrification of light-duty passenger and medium-heavy duty fleet vehicles.

With more than 200 members, EV-Point is a fast growing, employee-led affinity group designed to accelerate electric vehicle deployment among CenterPoint Energy employees. EV-Point’s mission is to provide a mutually supportive and positive environment in which members can learn about EVs, network with fellow EV enthusiasts and gain professional development through EV-Point awareness and leadership programs.
