Some contractors are holding out and trying to convince themselves that the future is not going to be electric, but are slowly realizing that they need to have a plan for an electric vehicle future. Preparing for the future is crucial for contractors and their business if they don’t want to be left behind. Contractors should start thinking about their plan now, so when the day does come where it’s mandated to be electric, they are ready and their business is unaffected.
A good start to creating a plan is by reaching out to multiple companies to get their pricing and decide what’s going to work the best for your company. It’s really important to look at your own telematics and fleet data to understand how far your drivers are driving. Understanding your current fuel economy, how many gallons of fuel you’re going through every year and how much you’re spending is critical data to have when planning for an electric future.
XL Fleet makes planning fairly simple for contractors by offering a comprehensive suite of fleet electrification solutions to accelerate EV transformation. XL Fleet is on a mission to provide simple, sustainable electrification solutions to the commercial fleet market. XL Fleet has become the leader in fleet electrification solutions for Class 2-6 commercial and municipal vehicles. Traditional gas-powered, commercial fleet trucks perform critically important work, but cause more pollution and burn more fuel than any other vehicles on the road. XL Fleet is making those same vehicles cleaner, greener and more sustainable.
XL Fleet hopes you’ll be part of their next decade of success, as they continue to help fleets save money, improve driver productivity and make a positive impact on the environment and the world.
