Food Connects is in the early stages of electrifying our vehicle fleet. Our hope is to replace the diesel options we have now with a more efficient and environmentally friendly option.

Over the past two months, we have tested electric vehicles to understand how and if they would work into our normal operations. This includes looking at where different charging stations are in relation to our route and how often and how long we would need to recharge.

We worked with the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation to set up an electric vehicle charging station at the BDCC Business Park and submitted a grant application, in partnership with the Regenerative Food Network, to replace our largest truck with an electric truck.

We will continue to share progress and updates from this exciting project as we move forward! In the meantime… check out some of our photos from the test!
