Commercial financing for EVs is way different than you think | Quick Charge


Listen Later

No matter how badly a fleet wants to electrify their operations and take advantage of reduced fuel costs and TCO, the fact remains that there are substantial up-front obstacles to commercial EV adoption ... or are there? We've got fleet financing expert Guy O'Brien here to help walk us through it on today's fiscally responsible episode of Quick Charge!

This conversation was motivated by the recent uncertainty surrounding EVs and EV infrastructure at the Federal level, and how that turmoil is leading some to believe they should wait to electrify. The truth? There's never been a better time to make the switch!
