Yes, electric vehicles (EVs) often cost significantly less to maintain than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. Studies indicate that EVs can be up to 50% cheaper to maintain over their lifetime.[1] Lower Maintenance Costs Compared to ICE vehicles, EVs have far fewer parts. For instance, a typical ICE vehicle has around 2,000 moving parts, […]

Level 1 charging might sound underpowered or outdated—but for the right fleet, it’s a surprisingly effective and economical solution. Whether Level 1 works for you depends on your daily driving range, battery capacity, and overall vehicle usage. For many fleets, especially those with low annual mileage, Level 1 charging may be all you need—without costly […]

The reindeer fleet is grain-powered, but Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be beside many trees this year, and Santa always chooses wisely! He checks mileage statistics twice before deciding which model to bring down the chimney. In 2023-24 the most efficient EVs were five times more efficient than average gas-fueled vehicles. Here’s a scorecard of their […]

In 38 states, cities are transitioning their vehicle fleets from 100% petroleum to include electric power. The potential benefit of EV replacements and expanded public charging access could save governments over $10 billion in lifetime costs. Most of that would be achieved through fuel savings (a 68% reduction) and lower maintenance costs (37% less). The […]

The White House’s EV Acceleration Challenge, issued in Spring 2023, restated the goal of having 50% of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2030. One year later, 6.8% of those sales were electric. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCVs) are being considered as one way to bridge the remaining 43.2% gap. However, that strategy may […]
