This episode examines how businesses running commercial fleets can handle the move to electric vehicles, whether cars, vans, trucks or buses. The focus is on a US provider that takes charge of fuelling those vehicles on behalf of fleet operators.
The pricing approach discussed is based on the distance driven. Cost savings are said to come from controlling when and how vehicles charge, from managing demand on the electricity supply, and, where possible, from applying carbon credits to the power used. Towards the end, the conversation turns to the extra value that electric vehicles can offer through the data they generate, something not available with combustion engine vehicles.
