CleanTechnica: Fleet Owners: For Big Savings, Plan Now For Electrification

Today, most fleets are at an early stage of EV adoption and their approach is incremental — e.g., buy a few vehicles and a few chargers each year. In our recently-released report Steep Climb Ahead, we recommend that fleet managers instead develop a long-term plan that incorporates how many vehicles and chargers (and what types of chargers) will be purchased annually as well as where and when vehicles will be charged.

Today’s incremental approach works for now but will quickly incur excessive capital costs and reduce operational savings for the fleet. Although a long-term plan requires more upfront effort, it is a superior approach that will only benefit a fleet’s bottom line.
