Fleet Electrification: What do you want to know?

Q. Which fleet vehicles make most financial sense to replace with an EV?

A. There have been significant improvements with electric vehicles over the last couple of years, however not all fleet vehicles are currently suitable for electrification.

If you are looking to add EVs to your fleet you need to consider a number of factors, such as daily driving distances, carrying capacity and dwell times. This will determine if the available models have sufficient range to complete a vehicle’s duty cycle and if the financial savings from the lower operating costs outweighs the higher acquisition cost.

Some fleet types are more suited than others – for example last-mile delivery. With high utilization and well established routes, many leaders within this sector have fully embraced EVs.

The best way to determine if an EV is right for your application is by reviewing your data. If you are unsure where to begin feel free to reach out to us.
