Electrada Electric Fuel vs. DIY: The Advantages of Managed Electric Fuel Solutions

Learn how managed electric fuel solutions help eliminate the risks, costs, and complexity of DIY fleet charging infrastructure.

Electrifying a fleet is a major operational shift, and fleet operators today face a critical choice: build and manage electric infrastructure themselves, or partner with experts to handle it all. Electrada’s managed electric fuel solutions provide a seamless, risk-mitigated alternative to the challenges of DIY approaches.

When fleets attempt DIY electrification, they face steep upfront capital costs, performance risks, unpredictable energy pricing, and the complexity of managing ever-evolving charging technologies. Building internal teams for power supply, utility coordination, and long-term infrastructure maintenance adds even more cost and uncertainty. Choosing managed electric fuel solutions helps avoid these risks and ensures a more reliable, cost-predictable path forward.

How Managed Electric Fuel Solutions Work

Electrada Electric Fuel eliminates these challenges with an end-to-end approach. Instead of investing upfront and managing complex infrastructure alone, fleets can choose from three tailored models that fit their operational and financial needs. Each model provides fixed electric fuel pricing for the life of the contract, guaranteed 99%+ uptime, expert 24/7/365 support, and full risk management across technology, energy capacity, and performance — all with zero operational headaches.

  • 360 CaaS offers complete electrification with zero capital investment, guaranteed 99%+ uptime, expert management, and one fixed price for the life of the contract. It’s perfect for fleets looking to get started without financial barriers.
  • FleetFlex allows organizations to maintain ownership of their EV charging infrastructure while outsourcing day-to-day operations and performance management to Electrada, removing the burden of maintenance and uptime responsibility.
  • FleetFlip enables fleets that already own charging assets to monetize their investment immediately. Electrada buys the infrastructure at fair market value, takes over management, and ensures ongoing reliability through its industry-leading service model.

Why Electrada’s Model Is Different from Vendor “As-a-Service” Models

Unlike EVSE vendor “as-a-service” models that still shift risk back to the fleet, Electrada Electric Fuel offers managed electric fuel solutions that ensure infrastructure and technology choices are made based on the unique needs of each fleet — not based on vendor limitations. Electrada also maximizes available incentives and folds them into the overall savings, delivering greater long-term value compared to DIY setups.

The Long-Term Benefits of Managed Electric Fuel Solutions

Managed electric fuel solutions through Electrada offer not only predictability and peace of mind, but also significant savings. Across the project lifespan, Electrada’s complete electric fuel solution can be up to 70% more cost-effective compared to DIY models.

Choosing Electrada Electric Fuel means you don’t just electrify your fleet—you futureproof it. With scalable infrastructure, zero operational burden, and cost certainty, your fleet can transition to EVs confidently and sustainably.
