3 Reasons Why EV Fleets Make Sense
Whether you’re a public or private organization, converting to an EV fleet (also known as an electric vehicle fleet) simply makes sense. There are a number of reasons why this is the right approach, but we’ve summarized the three strongest arguments that support moving to a fleet of electric vehicles below.
1. Environmental
Greenhouse gas emissions are global concern that is rapidly increasing with every passing year.
Converting to an EV fleet will help cut down on these emissions in your area, and contribute to a healthier, happier planet.
2. Economic
There’s no denying it – electric vehicles are the way of the future, and early adaptors will be heavily rewarded by staying one step ahead of the game.
While switching to an electric vehicle fleet may seem like a big investment, the ROI will be well worth it.
Ongoing fleet costs (including maintenance and fuel) will drop significantly, and because EVs tend to have a longer lifespan that internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the savings will keep on compounding over the years.
3. Public Image
Finally, there’s a public image benefit, too. There is a growing demand among consumers for environmentally responsible business practices and laws. In fact, many customers are taking concrete actions like boycotting certain companies and demanding change from their local governments in response to these concerns.
Adopting an EV fleet showcases your organization’s commitment to sustainability, leadership, and innovation—all good things for your public image.
Still considering an EV fleet?
Of course, evaluating EV fleet options and details can be tricky. Not all vehicles will make sense for conversion to electric vehicles, and factors like fleet usage patterns, daily mileage, access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and other variables need to be evaluated before plans can be implemented.
Fortunately, many industry leaders are embracing this need for EV learning and education, and taking. By working together, we can continue to gain momentum and put the plans in place to move forward.
