Pay Attention To Your EV Economics

Whenever you’re thinking about making a change with your fleet truck or fleet work trucks, it’s important to consider the overall cost and economics of the situation. For over 50 years, Capital Lease Group has specialized in leasing single vehicles or full fleets for clients, and we understand considering every single detail. If you’re thinking about going electric, be sure to consider everything from the battery cost to battery depreciation, the miles driven on each vehicle, your charging strategy, and maintenance.

Match Your EV Strategy & Economics To Rollout Plans

Once you have a solid idea of how you’d like to better incorporate elective vehicles into your business model — or transition completely — you need to consider the rollout plan from the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Depending on what their plan is as far as sourced parts for electric fleet trucks or fleet work trucks, it could potentially cause the overall cost to be overwhelming and not viable for your business. Determine if now is the right time to go full-electric, or if it’s more cost-effective to wait.

Seriously Consider Your EV Charging Situations

A key aspect of keeping and maintaining electric fleet trucks and fleet work trucks is that they need to sit and charge for a certain period of time. What is critical to consider is to select a charging infrastructure and software that works for your business’ needs; this charging will likely need to occur overnight which means you’ll need private charging stations for your vehicles. Capital Lease Group recommends ensuring your assets receive the necessary charging they need in order to remain operable.

Educate Your Workforce & Implement Proper Training

If your business is going full-on electric, it’s important to ensure your staff has the expertise, knowledge, and training needed in order to maintain them and maintenance efficiency. This may require your company to bring in new talent or to change the way daily operations go on. Capital Lease Group recommends taking a hard look at your strategies and doing research on what possible incentives are available on a commercial level.
