The Electrada + NACFE white paper explores how Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) is transforming fleet electrification by reducing infrastructure costs and streamlining operations. Developed in collaboration with the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE), this research-backed resource provides key insights for fleet managers looking to transition to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) efficiently.
The journey to fleet electrification can be complex. Between navigating utility relationships, selecting the right charging infrastructure, and managing operational costs, fleet operators often face overwhelming challenges. That’s why Electrada partnered with the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) to survey fleets on Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS). The resulting Electrada + NACFE white paper is a comprehensive resource that explores key findings, real-world experiences, and proven solutions to help you reach your electrification goals faster and more efficiently.
“Electrada is thrilled to collaborate with NACFE on this new white paper that brings valuable, practical intelligence to fleet operators transitioning to EVs.”
– Kevin Kushman, CEO, Electrada
Key Obstacles for Fleet Managers and How Charging-as-a-Service Solves Them
Fleet managers often face significant barriers when transitioning to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), especially when it comes to setting up and maintaining reliable charging infrastructure. The Electrada + NACFE white paper reveals how CaaS simplifies this journey by eliminating the upfront capital costs and operational complexities of EV charging deployment.
CaaS models allow fleets to focus on operations while providers like Electrada manage infrastructure design, installation, and maintenance. This solution not only streamlines the electrification process but also reduces long-term risks and financial uncertainties associated with fluctuating energy costs.
Key Insights from the Electrada + NACFE White Paper
- Navigating Utility Collaboration: The white paper highlights that many fleets struggle to work efficiently with utilities, which can delay infrastructure deployment. CaaS providers can streamline this process, offering smoother collaboration and faster results.
- Simplifying Infrastructure Management: Daily management of charging operations can be resource-intensive. CaaS models take this burden off fleet operators, ensuring uptime and consistent performance without additional operational headaches.
- Achieving Operational Success: The paper showcases real-world examples of fleets successfully integrating CaaS, resulting in improved ROI, enhanced reliability, and simplified scalability for growing operations.
“To successfully electrify, fleets need an understanding of the entire ecosystem which includes utilities and charging equipment. CaaS may be one way to eliminate that barrier.”
– Mike Roeth, Executive Director, NACFE
