Military Vehicle Fleet Electrification Act
This bill requires that not less than 75% of the total number of contracted non-tactical vehicles purchased, leased by, or for use of the Department of Defense (DOD) must be electric or zero emission vehicles (or a federally authorized alternative) and use a charging connector type that meets applicable industry accepted standards for interoperability and safety.
The bill also authorizes DOD to furnish electric vehicle charging stations at a commissary store or military exchange for commercial use by individuals authorized to access such facilities.
To transition the nontactical vehicle fleet of the Department of 
  Defense to electric or other zero emission vehicles, and for other 
                               purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
