Objectives
The three main objectives behind this initiative were: to demonstrate the profitability and viability of electric vehicle fleets, to make fleet managers aware of the benefits of electric vehicles by providing them with training and coaching, and to develop measurement tools and documentation for fleet managers interested in electrifying their vehicle fleets.
The companies were each loaned up to six electric vehicles for three weeks, free of charge. On the first day of trials, an electric fleet expert provided training to employees to introduce them to the vehicles. Technicians also went to the sites to install Level 2 charging stations and fast charging stations so that the companies could charge the vehicles in their parking lots.
