The future of fleet vehicles is more affordable, more environmentally friendly and safer thanks to electric technology. Advancements in motors, batteries and charging technologies have made the electric vehicle (EV) of the future a reality today. If your business owns a fleet, you can reap the rewards.
Lower cost of ownership. EV fleets have been proven to cost less to own and operate over the course of their use. The slightly higher upfront costs are quickly mitigated by the lower operating and maintenance costs.
Reduce maintenance. Since they don't need oil changes and have far fewer moving parts, maintenance is much easier. In fact, EVs cost 40% less on average to maintain.
Reduce fuel costs. You'll spend less than half the amount of fuel costs compared to internal combustion vehicles. By adding chargers to your facility, vehicles can charge during off-peak hours on your terms, without employees having to stop at fuel stations during work hours. EV driving ranges have improved dramatically, even from just a few years ago. Driving 150 to 200 miles a day without charging is pretty reasonable.
Improve workplace safety. Without the need to fuel up, onsite storage and handling of flammable fuels can be eliminated, making the workplace safer. Plus, the lower center of gravity provided by EVs improves their handling and the safety of employees on the road.
Reach sustainability goals. With no tailpipe emissions, pairing your EV fleet with solar or other renewable energy sources makes it cleaner and more eco-friendly. This is ideal for helping you reach sustainability goals, or just not having to smell the exhaust.
Switching your fleet to electric technology will save you money, make your workplace safer and help the company meet sustainability goals, all while keeping your fleet at peak productivity. It's time you learned more about how upgrading your fleet to electric can electrify your bottom line.
