There are a variety of types and sizes of electric vehicles that businesses can now incorporate into their fleets. In many cases, existing vehicles can be replaced by a plug-in electric model and utilized to meet the same daily function as vehicle it replaced, with little to no behavior change by the driver and the fleet manager. Key benefits to the business include savings on fuel and maintenance, a better experience for the fleet drivers, time saved by using onsite refueling, reduced maintenance time, reduced carbon emissions and improvement of local air quality.
