Description: This session will provide an overview of the technologies, considerations, costs, and savings related to electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EV/PHEVs) in the fleet setting. Electric vehicles can provide substantial benefits to fleet operators—including operating cost savings, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and a hedge against volatile fuel prices. For a busy fleet manager, however, it may be daunting to navigate the complexities of assessing and incorporating EVs into fleet operations. Focusing on light-duty electric vehicles, this session will cover the following:

 

Presenters will also provide several case studies of recent fleet EV deployments.

 

 

1) Identify potential EV-appropriate opportunities in their fleets 

2) Summarize the various cost factors associated with EV fleet integration 

3) Understand the key steps in exploring and developing an EV program.
