Resource Innovations to Accelerate the Electrification of Commercial Fleets for Xcel Energy Customers in Colorado and New Mexico

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (July 30, 2025) — Resource Innovations (RI), a leading provider of tech-enabled services that drive decarbonization, equity, and innovation, will implement Xcel Energy’s new Fleet Electrification Advisory Program (FEAP). With Xcel Energy, Resource Innovations will support commercial, industrial, and public sector customers transition from gas-powered to electric fleets in Colorado and New Mexico.

Relaunched in June 2025, FEAP is designed to provide tailored technical assistance to Xcel Energy’s electric customers who are ready to explore or advance their electrification journey. Through personalized fleet assessments, RI will help customers identify suitable electric vehicle (EV) replacements, recommend optimal charging infrastructure, and uncover available rebates and incentives—delivering a tailored electrification strategy.

“Fleet electrification is a critical step in reducing transportation emissions and realizing a cleaner energy future. This program helps fleet owners understand what’s possible, plan strategically, and take action confidently," said Craig Miller, Senior Director, Clean Transportation Programs at Xcel Energy.

FEAP is structured to deliver environmental and economic impact by reducing emissions, improving cost efficiency, and expanding access to electrification support, particularly in underserved and higher-emission communities. The program will assist at least 30 eligible commercial customers through December 2026 and is tailored to meet the needs of complex fleet types, including medium- and heavy-duty vehicles such as delivery vans, refuse trucks, and buses.

“Getting thoughtful technical and operational inputs for a fleet electrification strategy is the best way to ensure plans will actually move into action”, said Kelly Helfrich, VP of Transportation Electrification at Resource Innovations. “Our team of EV experts and engineers is looking forward to working with Xcel Energy’s customers to develop fleet transition plans and increase the number of electrified fleet vehicles in Xcel Energy’s territory.”

With a dedicated local team and proven history of delivering transportation electrification programs across the country, Resource Innovations is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. FEAP represents a significant opportunity to accelerate progress toward cleaner transportation, while making the transition accessible, actionable, and scalable for a wide range of fleet operators.
