This project examined the economic impact of the incorporation of 93 electric vehicles into Columbus's fleet, to help make recommendations on how the city ought to conduct future electric vehicle purchases. Work on this project occurred from February 2019 to April 2019 and was presented at the Environmental Professionals Network April 2019 meeting at The Ohio Union at The Ohio State University.
