Hi, @CharlieKnight let me answer your question. For fleets operators/owners, beyond the green image, we can find the economics, because:
->Charging an EV is up to 10 times cheaper than fueling an ICE (also with the use of renewable energy)
->EVs are capable to run until x3 miles than ICEs in their entire life.
->Maintenance costs are almost zero.
->Battery costs are decreasing exponentially and very soon will be cheaper to buy EVs versus ICEs.
On top of that, it's not only the brand image but also green targets achievements. Until 62% of greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced adding microgrids in fleets depots, for instance. For more information, you also can read about our Montgomery County success story here.
Thanks for your question! Hope this clarifies.
