Your Transport membership: Frequently asked questions
If you still have a question about the our membership offering and don't see an answer here, get in touch with the team at transport@climategroup.org to help.
EV100 is Climate Group's global network of corporate leaders driving the transition to zero-emission transport.
As the world's most influential network of electric fleet pioneers, EV100…
- Leverages the leadership of its members to drive policy change – so no company, no country, nobody is left behind in the EV transition. It brings together combined knowledge, expertise and practical experience from the front line of the EV transition.
- Champions those leading the way, and support businesses at the start of their EV journey.
- Leads the global conversation with a year-round programme of events.
Any company with 200 or more owned or leased vehicles worldwide (cars, vans, trucks) commits at group level and in every market. Companies with operations in certain sectors (fossil fuels, munitions, tobacco, gambling) should disclose their involvement and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Automakers, OEMs and charge point operators are also ineligible for membership but please reach out to the team if you would like to discuss collaborative opportunities.
EV100 members commit to:
- Fully electrify their corporate fleet, from passenger cars to heavy trucks, on a clear timetable aligned with climate goals.
- Support charging infrastructure roll out (depots, offices, retail sites) to encourage EV adoption for employees and customers (optional commitment).
The EV100 commitment is a ‘flow’ target: This means that 100% of vehicles purchased/procured/renewed from the deadlines specified below must be zero-emission at tailpipe i.e. battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
See the EV100 Commitment -Detailed Criteria for more information.

It is at members’ discretion to use the vehicle type they choose in the lead up to the phase out date. PHEVs are not a long-term solution for the environment, air quality or economy.
- A 2024 study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found that under certain conditions, hybrids can be up to 4.9 times dirtier than BEVs charged with renewable energy. Hybrid vehicles, including both HEVs and PHEVs, can have significantly higher lifetime emissions than battery electric vehicles (BEVs) when considering their entire life cycle.
- Research from ICCT indicates that the percentage of time that company-owned PHEVs are driven on fully electric is only about 11-15% of the time. Since company drivers usually don’t pay for the fuel themselves, there is very little incentive of a driver to operate the vehicle using the battery for the majority of the time.
- PHEVs represent an inefficient use of resources requiring both an electric motor and a gasoline engine, which increases their weight and complexity. This dual powertrain makes them less efficient than fully electric vehicles (EVs) when running on electricity and less efficient than conventional hybrids when running on gasoline. Since PHEVs are operated almost entirely using the combustion engine, emissions reductions are limited.
Members commit to fully electrify their corporate fleet in at least two out of the four vehicle segments (1. Light Duty Vehicles (LDVs) under 3.5t, 2. LDVs/Medium Duty Vehicles (MDVs) 3.5-7.5t, 3. MDVs and 4. Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs) >20t).
The specific vehicle segments that members commit to—whether LDV, MDV, or HDV—will shape the components of the membership offer they engage with. This includes activities tailored to each segment across key workstreams; knowledge & network development, policy engagement/advocacy, and leadership profile.
The membership commitment tiers and definitions of Advanced and Emerging markets have been developed in collaboration with independent transport research organisation New AutoMotive, using a weighted scoring system that considers supply-side regulations (ZEV mandates, OEM targets), Charging infrastructure (density, reliability, power capacity), Fiscal incentives (purchase subsidies, tax breaks), EV adoption rates (current and projected).
Based on these criteria, Tier 1 (Advanced) markets are defined as ‘Ready’ with a score of 23 and above. Tier 2 (Emerging) markets are defined as ‘Getting Ready’ and score 10-23. A small group of countries that scored <10 were untiered.
In the first edition of The EV100 Global Transition Barometer, published in June 2025, Tier 1 (Advanced) markets were identified as: Norway, Ethiopia, China, UK, Singapore, Israel, Canada, South Korea, Türkiye, EU, United States, Uruguay, Ukraine, Taiwan. These markets are all subject to a 2030 commitment deadline.
To view in full, please refer to the report. Market scoring and classification will be reviewed regularly in conjunction with New AutoMotive.
Members are strongly encouraged to make an additional commitment to install adequate charging infrastructure, but it is an optional add-on to the mandatory fleet commitment.
We ask members to support EV uptake by staff and customers by installing charging at a nominated number of locations. This requires appropriate charging infrastructure to be installed at all relevant non-home premises. We encourage companies to implement dedicated information and awareness program/appropriate incentive schemes to promote EV usage for their staff and/or customers.
All companies participating in EV100 are required to report on their progress on an annual basis. This process is an important accountability mechanism to underline the campaign’s credibility and to ensure members are on track to meet zero emission fleet commitments. The Annual Report is also a crucial tool to communicate the aims of the initiative and our impact, profile the leadership of companies like yours, and showcase emerging best practices.
The reporting tool seeks to balance the data needs of the initiative with the practicality and availability of data. Our technical partner, Carbon Trust, manage the company data submissions and analysis.
The reporting cycle occurs in the latter half of the year, with submissions usually due in October. The data is presented in the annual Progress and Insights Report around March each year.
EV100 is an aspirational leadership coalition. There are no fines, but companies are expected to show steady progress and explain delays in their annual report. Persistent, unexplained inaction may result in loss of leadership-profile benefits.
Members pay an annual membership fee to help EV100 deliver impact. The fee this year is $6,750 USD. Your membership fee supports the work of our teams in delivering an annual program of events, workshops, reports and publications, whilst also providing access to our exclusive Climate Group Hub and high-profile events and Summits. Your financial support additionally enables Climate Group to showcase and celebrate your progress and success, as we work together to meet and pass the commitment goals of the campaign.
Yes. The EV100 Pledge Network (EVPN) is a two-year “on-ramp” for companies that want the tools and peer learning before making a full public commitment. EVPN members have no reporting requirement but are expected to decide on full EV100 membership within 24 months.
