The company's flexible financing models enable cities to adopt EV charging infrastructure with minimal upfront costs. From Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), such as Level 2 and DC fast chargers, to advanced options, such as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) bidirectional charging and battery storage solutions, ForeFront Power can help cities meet a wide range of electrification needs efficiently and cost-effectively.

"It's an honor to be selected for this Master Agreement that enables us to help LOC members electrify their fleets with our customizable, turnkey solutions, and position Oregon as a leader in the clean fleet category," said Rachel McLaughlin, Chief Commercial Officer at ForeFront Power. "By leveraging this contract, Oregon cities can accelerate their fleet electrification initiatives with confidence, knowing that ForeFront Power will provide the technology, support, and flexibility they need to meet their goals."

"By offering access to this contract through NPPGov, our member cities and public agencies nationwide can easily procure top-tier fleet electrification solutions without the burden of conducting their own solicitations," said Kevin Toon, Communications & Business Development Director at League of Oregon Cities. "ForeFront Power's comprehensive approach, offering everything from EV charging infrastructure to software, operations, and maintenance, means they can provide our member cities with the tools they need to progress their electrification journeys efficiently and cost-effectively."
