Electric Vehicle Feasibility Study

The City and Borough of Wrangell contracted with WH Pacific to perform a feasibility study to explore the viability of purchasing electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).  The City desires to replace or supplement their existing fleet and in so doing take advantage of the abundant hydroelectricity available from the Southeast Alaska Power Agency (SEAPA) electric grid.  Wrangell’s location, economy, demographics, environmental factors and long-range electrical planning are elements that are included in this study.  This attached feasibility report, in two volumes, lays the groundwork for Wrangell to make informed decisions regarding the use of these vehicles.
