Choose the right perspective
Match the person's fleet to yours, since electrifying utility work trucks, delivery vans and heavy trucks raises different vehicle, charging and duty-cycle questions. For charging buildout and grid questions favor people in infrastructure or program roles, and for vehicle replacement and day-to-day adoption favor people who run the fleet itself.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you decide which vehicles and routes to electrify first, and what data did you use to decide?
- 02What did you learn about sizing and installing depot charging, including utility interconnection and power limits at each site?
- 03How did the cost, range and uptime of electric vehicles compare with your expectations once they were in daily service?
