The Shift to Electric Vehicles: Challenges and Solutions for Commercial Fleets
As the world transitions towards electric vehicles (EVs), many commercial fleets are facing significant challenges in adopting this new technology. With high upfront costs, limited range, and lack of charging infrastructure, it’s no wonder that many fleet operators are hesitant to switch from diesel-powered vehicles. However, a French startup called Pelikan Mobility is addressing these concerns with its innovative software solution and leasing model.
The Problem with Electric Vehicles for Commercial Fleets
Commercial fleets operate on a different set of rules than private car owners. They require a high number of vehicles, often with specialized equipment and extensive maintenance needs. The shift to EVs presents several challenges:
- Higher upfront costs: EVs are typically more expensive to purchase than diesel-powered vehicles.
- Limited range: EVs have limited range, making long trips difficult or impossible.
- Charging infrastructure: There is a lack of charging infrastructure in many areas, making it difficult for fleets to charge their vehicles on the go.
