Electrifying fleets in the United States can be complicated and costly, creating hesitation for many public and private operators. Yet, the payoff can be remarkable—medium- and heavy-duty EVs deliver around 40% lower maintenance costs compared to their diesel counterparts. Still, the road to electrification is full of obstacles: internal maintenance teams often lack EV-specific skills, charging infrastructure projects can take 12–24 months to complete, and a patchwork of state and municipal regulations creates operational headaches. In this episode, you'll discover high-ROI strategies to help fleets overcome these barriers, scale EV adoption, and unlock the performance gains and cost reductions that make the transition worth it.
