City of Pomona Adds Eight Electric Trucks to City Fleet, Advancing Sustainable Transportation Goals

Pomona Choice Energy is proud to announce a significant advancement in the City of Pomona’s commitment to sustainable transportation with the addition of eight Ford F-150 Lightning electric trucks to the City’s fleet. These state-of-the-art vehicles, featuring extended-range batteries, represent a major milestone in Pomona’s ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions and embrace clean energy solutions.

“These new electric trucks demonstrate our commitment to delivering a more sustainable future for our residents,” said Pomona Mayor Tim Sandoval. “By transitioning our municipal fleet to emission-free vehicles, we’re taking concrete action toward our climate goals for our community.”

The Ford F-150 Lightning trucks offer utility and capability for City operations, along with all the environmental benefits of all-electric vehicles. The extended-range battery option provides enhanced mileage on a single charge, ensuring these vehicles can meet the demands of municipal work throughout Pomona without compromising on performance.

To support this growing electric fleet, the City of Pomona, EVCS and The Energy Coalitions through the Transformative Climate Communities Grant is also working to install additional charging infrastructure to the City’s Court parking lot, just across the street from City Hall. The new charging stations will not only service the current fleet of eight Lightning trucks but are designed with future expansion in mind as the City continues to transition toward an all-electric fleet.

These initiatives align closely with California’s broader goals for electric transportation and Pomona Choice Energy’s mission to provide sustainable energy solutions. By bringing electric vehicles into daily municipal operations, the City is demonstrating the potential of electric transportation while gaining valuable experience that informs future community-wide EV initiatives.

Pomona Choice Energy —created by the City of Pomona specifically for residents and local businesses—offers the community a choice where there wasn’t one before. Pomona Choice Energy is an alternative to Southern California Edison (SCE), the local investor-owned utility and previously the only power provider available in the City. The new program is locally-managed, not-for-profit and offers clean energy at low, competitive rates. Additionally, revenue from the program will be reinvested into the community through local programs and benefits. Pomona Choice Energy began serving municipal and residential accounts in October 2020 and commercial accounts in June 2021.
