Grants & incentives
We turn public money into your advantage.
We find the programs, write and file on your behalf, structure the deal around the award, and answer to the funder for the life of every award.
In one picture
How funding reaches your cost per mile.
Regulations and government affairs
Shapes and unlocks the landscape
Grants & incentives
Money you do not pay back, federal to local: vouchers, credits and settlement funds
Zeem
Finds and captures the grants you qualify for, fronts the capital, carries the reimbursement risk, and engineers the proceeds into your agreements
Your cost per mile
Permanently lower
The value of an incentive is not a one-time check. We fold infrastructure and vehicle funding into the agreements that set what you pay each month, so a fragmented and shifting landscape becomes a lower and more certain cost of ownership.
A dollar granted is a dollar compounded.
How you engage
Three ways to put our funding capability to work.
Fleets arrive at this from different points, so we meet them at three. Each level builds on the one before it.
Understand
Know what you qualify for.
We map the landscape against where you operate, the lanes you run and the duty cycles behind them, so you know the economics upfront. It turns a blank page into a fundable picture.
Qualify and secure
Capture it, as part of your deployment.
As part of your deployment we qualify, capture and stack what you are eligible for, and structure the proceeds into your infrastructure agreement and, if you lease the trucks, into those leases too. We also take the three risks that follow an award: the timing, the clawback conditions and the stacking rules.
Stay current
Keep the advantage, ongoing.
Programs change fast and awards carry obligations for years. We manage your funding position over time: the compliance and reporting that protect each award, new windows captured as they open, and, in states with clean-fuel programs such as LCFS, the credits your electric miles earn.
The funding record
We do not estimate this. We have captured it.
$33M+
Public funding captured across federal, state, utility and port programs, with more in application
$12M+
Of it in vehicle grants, captured on behalf of the fleets we serve
Clean Ports
Named on a federal award, led by a state environmental agency
At parity
Total cost of ownership at or below diesel for the fleets we serve
Life of award
Compliance and reporting carried for as long as the funder requires
"HVIP vouchers have helped our customers try before they buy. Many of the fleets that started with just one voucher are now expanding their electric operations nationwide."
Why early matters
We would rather this were the first conversation.
What a project qualifies for is shaped by decisions taken early: where the site is, what the equipment is, who owns it, and when a vehicle counts as in service. Knowing the funding landscape while those are still open means they can be settled partly for what they make you eligible for.
And the money keeps its own calendar. Programs open and close on a schedule nobody in your building sets, a great many award first come first served, and by the time a program is widely discussed the fleets that will receive the money have already applied.
So engage with us while the answer can still change the plan.
The money is real. It is also perishable.
Where to start
We will tell you what you qualify for.
Tell us where you operate and what you run. We come back with what is open to you, what it is worth and what the timing demands. Nothing to sign to get started, what we produce is yours to keep, and where the public money is thin, we fund the gap.
