Building a Fleet Electrification Plan? Utilize our guides and tools to begin the fleet electrification planning process.

The following steps, along with our Fleet Electrification Guide, is intended to support you as you begin the fleet electrification planning process. It provides a framework and key considerations for developing a fleet electrification plan. Each fleet is unique, and we encourage you to adopt the approaches that align best with your specific needs

 

Step 1: Get Started

Transitioning your fleet to electric can reduce costs, decrease emissions and promote a healthier work environment. Identifying the benefits most aligned with your organization's goals will help drive the transition.

Fleet electrification involves collaborating with internal and external stakeholders and decision makers. Identifying and engaging those players early is key to success. Seek their input on goals ad requirements early to gain buy in.

Understanding the experience of other organizations can help you prepare. We’ve collected more than a dozen case studies with useful insights.

 

Step 2: Analysis and Planning

Your fleet operations equate to a variety of vehicle requirements, spanning range, fuel efficiency and charging capability. There are electric options for most light, medium and heavy vehicles. Check out the directory of electric vehicles and identify models that fit your needs.

Next, plan for you will charge your vehicles. We recommend selecting networked charging stations that offer features like access controls, usage tracking and managed charging. Managed charging will enable you to easily schedule and adjust charging for fleet's readiness while controlling fueling costs. We've compiled a list of commercial charging equipment for your consideration.

Charging at the optimal power and on the best electric rate is key to maximizing benefits to your fleet. Our fleet Conversion Fuel Savings Estimator will guide you through these selections, allowing you to test different charging scenarios and quantify the benefits to your fleet.

EV's generally appear more expensive in a simple upfront cost comparison, but that's not the full story. When factoring in potential funding sources and operating savings, fleets increasingly find a lower overall total cost of ownership with EV's. Review our database of grants and incentives to find offers available to your organization.
