The State of New Mexico has awarded Nuvve a $400 million contract to provide turnkey EV charging solutions – including hardware, maintenance, and data management – to the state’s growing fleet of electric vehicles.

That $400 million number comes from Nuvve (NASDAQ: NVVE) estimates about New Mexico’s total addressable market (TAM), which includes the current plans to electrify State of New Mexico (SONM) electric vehicles and support broader electrification and V2G efforts. The contract is structured as a Statewide Price Agreement (SWPA), enabling long-term progress across public agencies throughout New Mexico.

“These agreements play a crucial role in fulfilling the objective of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s executive order to transition our state fleet to zero emissions,” said DOT Cabinet Secretary Ricky Serna. “These contracts ensure that state fleets transition to cleaner technology in a manner that is both efficient and economically viable.”

The contract, structured as a Statewide Price Agreement, will advance New Mexico’s Vehicles as a Service (VaaS) program, which state officials say will help facilitate more widespread fleet electrification through:

Nuvve seems to be pulling ahead in the race to score state and municipal charging contracts – seemingly for good reason. The company is meeting these clients where they are, answering questions, and moving forward with smart, sensible program that have a high chance of successfully returning a good ROI. Which, you know, is that second kind of “sustainability” we often talk about.
