US construction company McKinstry has “reached a major milestone on its path to a zero-tailpipe emissions fleet,” taking delivery of its 100th Chevrolet Silverado EV. The company now has a total of 114 EVs in operation, including Chevy Blazer and Equinox EVs as well as BrightDrop 600 and 400 vans.
“McKinstry is putting EVs into action,” said President and CFO Joseph Hagar. “Each EV advances innovation on our jobsites. These are more than trucks, SUVs and vans—they’re mobile workstations driving real impact.”
Nearly three-quarters of McKinstry’s EV fleet is used in the field, mostly by plumbers, electricians and sheet metal technicians. Each vehicle has been upfitted to meet the demands of specific trade work—custom features include heavy-duty toolboxes, bed slides that double as workstations, and onboard power systems for running specialty tools.
Electric vehicles are currently deployed across McKinstry operations in Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Texas. The company is installing extensive EV chargers at its facilities across the country and exploring innovative solutions for offsite charging.
“Our employees love the transition to EVs, and we’re pushing to bring the industry along with us,” added Hagar.
