The electric vehicle (EV) market is gaining traction. From city buses to school buses to work trucks and cargo vans, manufacturers are wheeling out a range of EVs for commercial and municipal purposes, and many organizations have already started converting their fleets. The benefits are clear.
We know what you’re thinking – infrastructure challenges, range anxiety, supply chain issues, business disruptions, electrical capacity, upfront costs, charger technologies, driver training – to name a few. Electrification can come with a host of questions and concerns, but having the right partner and plan in place can make all the difference.

Going electric takes more than a few EVs and chargers. It takes a multi-stepped strategy anchored in insight. That’s why we always start by examining your current and historical fleet operations, including routes, driving patterns, dwell time, fuel consumption, and maintenance costs. Only then can we make smart recommendations around battery requirements, vehicle procurement, charging infrastructure, electrical capacity, and more.
As the cost of gas and diesel rises, so does the business case for electrification. But what does it cost to go electric? As part of our process, we give you a complete picture of your expenses and estimated lifetime savings, accounting for capital costs, government grants, ongoing maintenance requirements, electricity usage, and other factors, including any necessary electrical upgrades. We can also help you define an optimal charging schedule to minimize electricity costs.
Transitioning to a fleet of EVs doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a calculated conversion schedule that makes sense financially and operationally. But it also takes foresight. That’s why we work with you to anticipate your mid to long-term needs. Is your organization growing? Will you need a bigger fleet? Will you have the same charging needs five, ten, fifteen years down the road? We go beyond your fleet to take a holistic view of your entire organization, factoring in elements like building loads, potential fuel switching, and other capacity needs. The more we can plan in advance, the more successful you’ll be.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to electrifying a fleet. Your business is unique, so your transition plan should be too. We’ll help you account for everything from your emissions’ targets to your driving profile, electricity rate options, how you’ll phase in the new vehicles, driver training and any adjustments you might need to make to your daily operations.
