What's an EV?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries instead of gasoline or diesel. They offer lower emissions, improved energy efficiency, and quieter operation compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles. EVs come in various forms, from all-electric models that run solely on battery power to plug-in hybrids that combine an electric motor with a gas engine.

Michigan is leading in multimodal electrification, with EVs ranging from e-bikes and electric scooters to public transit buses and heavy-duty freight trucks. The state continues to expand EV infrastructure, incentives, and policies to support the transition to clean transportation.

Did you know?

As Michigan works to reduce transportation emissions, EV adoption is accelerating, with over 143,300+ EVs registered statewide. A University of Michigan study found that EVs reduce lifetime greenhouse gas emissions by up to 64% compared to gas-powered cars.

Several automakers with Michigan roots have set EV targets for 2030, including Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, alongside BMW, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

Residents of Michigan can also take advantage of state and utility incentives to support the transition to clean transportation.

Going Electric in
MICHIGAN

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a game-changer in the automotive industry, offering an eco-friendly and sustainable mode of transportation. As the heart of America’s automotive industry, Michigan’s shift to electric vehicles (EVs) drives innovation, creates jobs, and improves air quality.

 

Drivers are leading the way toward a greener and better future, and the state of Michigan is committed to supporting them. By going electric, Michigan drivers will experience COST SAVINGS through lower maintenance costs and fuel savings, AFFORDABILITY through charging discounts, exclusive company bonuses, and government incentives to help keep money in their pockets all while making communities in Michigan HEALTHIER and SAFER.

Reduced Fuel Costs

EVs have significantly lower fuel costs than traditional gas-powered vehicles. An average electricity rate of $0.14 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in Michigan and an EV efficiency of 3.5 miles per kWh, the cost per mile is about $0.04.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

EVs have fewer moving parts than gas-powered vehicles, which means less maintenance is required over time. This can save EV owners money on maintenance and repairs.

Public Charging Stations

​Michigan has developed an extensive network of public charging stations to support electric vehicle (EV) owners. As of early 2025, there are approximately 3,700 public charging stations across the state, with plans to expand to 100,000 by 2030.

Different EVs

The different types of

BEVs.png

Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEV)

Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEV):

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are powered by an electric motor and use a large battery pack to store energy. They do not have an internal combustion engine and therefore produce no tailpipe emissions. BEVs rely entirely on charging from an external power source, such as a wall outlet or charging station.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs):

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. They can run on electricity alone for a certain distance, after which the internal combustion engine kicks in and the vehicle functions like a regular hybrid. PHEVs can be charged from an external power source or can use the internal combustion engine to recharge the battery.

Multimodal E-Mobility in Michigan

Electric School Bus Program

Michigan is investing heavily in transitioning school buses from diesel to electric. In May 2024, the state received $23.98 million in rebate funding to help 27 schools purchase 97 electric buses and three propane-powered buses (EGLE Press Release). Additionally, in July 2024, the Michigan Department of Education announced nearly $30 million in funding for 29 school districts to acquire environmentally friendly buses (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy). These investments aim to improve air quality and reduce operational costs for schools, benefiting over 800,000 students transported annually by nearly 17,000 buses statewide.

Medium and Heavy Duty Electrification

Michigan is actively promoting the electrification of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to reduce emissions and enhance sustainability. The state has set a target to fully convert its light-duty vehicle fleet to electric by 2033, with plans to address medium-and heavy-duty vehicles afterward (State of Michigan Fleet Electrification Plan). Additionally, Michigan is developing charging infrastructure to support these vehicles, including a charging hub in Redford near I-96, an area frequented by over 10,000 commercial trucks daily (Michigan EIBC Report on Transportation Electrification).

Electric Public Transit 

Michigan is making major investments in electric public transit, securing over $72 million in federal funding to support clean, modern, and efficient transit systems across the state. This funding will help transit authorities upgrade fleets with electric and low-emission buses, expand services, and improve transit accessibility. The grants are part of a broader initiative to reduce emissions, enhance mobility, and modernize public transportation infrastructure in Michigan.

Rideshare, Rental Cars, and Fleets

Rental companies including Hertz, Enterprise, Avis, Sixt, and more offer a range of EVs to rent for drivers. Rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft are also making commitments to make their fleets 100% EV and helping their drivers make the switch. Eastside Community Network (ECN) EV Carshare: Launched in 2024, this program provides Detroit residents with affordable EV rentals, offering vehicles at $5 per hour or $50 per day, including insurance. ​

Micro-mobility 

Michigan is expanding micro-mobility solutions, including e-bikes and electric scooters, to provide more sustainable urban transportation options. Cities like Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids have implemented shared e-scooter and e-bike programs to reduce congestion and improve first-mile/last-mile connectivity. A University of Michigan study found that micro-mobility adoption in Michigan has the potential to reduce urban vehicle trips by up to 15%, significantly lowering emissions and traffic congestion
