Clean transportation has seen robust growth in response to rapidly improving technologies, declining costs, government subsidies and policy mandates. Since 2015, costs of electric vehicles (EVs) have declined by a third while range has increased by 40%. The shift to green fleets is underway across all vehicle classes.
While the economics of zero-emission vehicles continue to improve, implementing this transition remains complex. Technology is evolving rapidly, charging infrastructure remains sparse, and standard routes and operations need to evolve. For organizations to successfully transition their fleets, they will need to look at scenarios that visualize the impact of evolving trends in the automotive, energy, infrastructure and battery materials market over the coming decades.
Global leaders recognize e-mobility as a key lever to meet sustainability goals. The surge in EV sales stems from a combination of policy support, improvements in battery technology and cost and more access to charging infrastructure. Organizations can seize government funds and adopt pragmatic technologies at scale to evade risks and rising costs. However, strategic adoption calls for broad, extensive industry knowledge to maximize return and future-proof assets in a complex mobility ecosystem.
Faced with financial constraints, leaders must assess e-mobility solutions that deliver a high return on investment. But the upfront cost to replace transportation fleets and update systems and infrastructure is significant. To recoup the upfront investment and minimize the total cost of ownership (TCO), organizations must optimize electricity grid management, scheduling, operation, and maintenance requiring robust technology and planning.
While significant, cost is not the only barrier to fleet electrification. In our experience, fleet operators face three predominant challenges:
