For a successful EV fleet pilot, collaborating with various stakeholders, such as the building's facilities manager, property management team, and the utility company, is essential to plan the necessary electrical upgrades. Additionally, creating a proficient construction project team with experts in buildout and electrical roles is crucial. A reliable EV charging partner can provide valuable assistance in this regard.
When selecting EVs to incorporate into your fleet, analyze individual use cases and routes to establish a standard operating profile for pilot vehicles. This profile should include key details such as daily mileage, operating hours, and charging availability.
To plan for vehicle charging, evaluate the existing power consumption for building operations and lighting, and estimate the required capacity for the expected number of electric fleet vehicles for the pilot program and future service. Consider the energy needs of the EVs and estimate the power required accordingly. It is recommended to install additional electrical capacity upfront whenever possible to accommodate the total number of EVs that will eventually be in service. This approach can help avoid costly upgrades, making getting it right from the beginning more cost-effective.
After completing vehicle acquisition, utility upgrades, and charging installation, it is time to utilize your electric vehicles, increase business prospects, and reduce your environmental footprint and operating costs.
