Inflation and tariff pressures are squeezing operating budgets for businesses of all sizes. In fact, over half of small U.S. businesses identified rising costs as a top concern in Q1 2025, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
For fleet operators—both public and private—this environment presents an opportunity. Switching to electric vehicles (EVs) can help fleets achieve one critical goal: securing affordable electric fuel.
Why EV Fuel Costs Are More Predictable and Affordable
Many fleet managers assume EVs are more expensive to fuel than gasoline or diesel vehicles. But historically, electricity prices are not only lower than fossil fuels—they’re also more stable. EVs consume less energy per mile, operate more efficiently, and perform especially well in stop-and-go traffic, according to the Alternative Fuels Data Center.
Charging EVs during off-peak hours can unlock even greater savings, offering a reliable strategy to control fleet fuel costs over time. A recent RMI study reinforced this point. Even using conservative assumptions—such as a gasoline price of $2.75 per gallon—EVs still achieved cost parity or advantage over internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This all adds up to one thing: affordable electric fuel is within reach.
Electrada Electric Fuel: A Smarter Approach to Fueling an EV Fleet
Electrada’s 360 Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering is designed to make electric fueling simple and budget-friendly. As the flagship solution within the Electrada Electric Fuel solutions suite, 360 CaaS eliminates the upfront cost of infrastructure by covering 100% of design, installation, and ongoing management. Fleets simply pay a predictable price for the electric fuel they use—no surprise fees, no utility headaches. Predictable pricing shields fleet operators from energy market volatility, lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) and freeing up capital for other priorities. To help quantify these savings, Electrada’s Electric Fuel Cost Calculator enables fleet managers to model projected electric fuel expenses accurately.
Flexible, Affordable EV Fuel Options
Beyond 360 CaaS, Electrada offers two additional ways to achieve affordable electric fuel and help fleet managers realize TCO parity:
- FleetFlex: Electrada builds and manages the infrastructure, but the fleet operator retains ownership.
- FleetFlip: Electrada acquires and upgrades existing charging assets, integrating them into its fully managed platform.
Like 360 CaaS, all options feature predictable electric fuel pricing for the life of the contract and 99%+ guaranteed uptime—core elements that help fleets hit their electrification and financial goals faster.
Make the Switch to Affordable Electric Fuel
Electrada Electric Fuel delivers the certainty fleet managers need in uncertain times. Whether you choose 360 CaaS or one of the other tailored Electrada Electric Fuel solutions, you’ll benefit from predictable pricing, infrastructure ownership options, and operational peace of mind with contractually guaranteed 99%+ uptime.
