In Electrada Quick Charge Episode 6, we explore why many fleet routes are perfectly suited for immediate electrification. Drawing on recent findings, this episode addresses the common misconception that electric vehicles (EVs) cannot accommodate average fleet routes.
The 2023 National Private Truck Council Benchmarking Survey reveals that the average outbound haul has decreased to just 178 miles, comfortably within the 200-mile range of modern medium-duty EVs. Insights from the North American Council on Freight Efficiency and the 2022 Run On Less Campaign further endorse the readiness of medium-duty trucks for electrification, especially those operating within shorter distances.
This episode encourages fleets, particularly those whose average daily routes span between 100 to 200 miles, to adopt EVs early, emphasizing that the existing EV technology is well-matched to the demands of most private fleet routes. It argues that initiating fleet electrification now allows fleets to benefit from a valuable learning curve that will refine their future electrification strategies.
Electrada urges listeners to capitalize on the current opportunities with our 360 Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) model, which provides a fully-capitalized, scalable, and reliable electric fuel solution designed to significantly cut fleet fuel cost per mile from the outset. For fleets poised to embark on electrification, Electrada offers a low-risk approach to the transition, and encourages fleets to reach out and discuss their unique needs and start their electrification journey today.
