Crafting Your Electric Road Map
Making the switch to electric isn’t as easy as plugging your electric commercial vehicle into the nearest outlet. To take advantage of all the benefits of electric vehicles and to ensure the best possible experience, it’s important to develop a plan tailored to your specific needs and future goals. Our discovery workshops are designed to do just that. Working together, we’ll craft an EV Roadmap by identifying both your short-term and long-term goals, and the steps that need to be taken to ensure success. As your single point of contact, we’ll be with you throughout the entire process.

Strategy and Scalability
The first step in any evaluation is taking a look at the routes, range requirements, duty cycles, payload requirement and future growth factor of your current fleet to estimate what is needed in terms of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. We would then look at local utility rates and provide a cost-benefit analysis to determine how to electrify your fleet. For some routes, an electric vehicle may not be appropriate. Other routes may be altered to maximize efficiencies and accommodate an electrified vehicle. The end result will provide a good financial yardstick to help inform vehicle and charging decisions.
Site Selection and Assessment
The desired charging location can have a significant impact on charging infrastructure potential. We’ll perform due diligence in researching the site to determine zoning, power capacity, space, and existing power sources. The parameters of the site will then be determined and documented to assist with site planning.
Infrastructure Concept Development
With the site parameters set, we can determine the type and level of charging equipment. This process considers vehicles per charging location, charger output requirements and future fleet growth. After all, we want your business to be able to grow as much as you do, and we’ll make sure you have the runway to do that.
Financing and Grants
Like any new infrastructure project, a charging solution should be considered an investment rather than an expense. No matter what battery technology may be developed in the future, those batteries will always need to be charged with electricity. Therefore, an investment in charging infrastructure will pay massive dividends down the road. Our team will present various financing options to help you making this incredibly important investment. But not all the financial burden may be on your shoulders. We’ll help you take advantage of whatever federal and state rebates, grants, funding incentives and tax incentives may be available to get you plugged in as affordably as possible.
