Did you know that driving a fleet EV can cost as little as $0.03 per mile? For fleet managers, going electric is a strategy that results in lower TCO—even with the upfront investment including the costs to transition your ICE vehicles to EVs and add the necessary charging support. Strategic planning for your fleet includes choosing the right vehicles and developing a reliable charging infrastructure that supports your business needs and your fleet drivers, but having the right strategy can result in major rewards. . Our latest article breaks down the upfront cost of fleet electrification and explores long-term savings to help you make an informed decision as you plan to electrify your fleet https://lnkd.in/dFKy3-fm . . . . #Fleet #EVs #FleetManagement #ElectricVehicles #FleetDriver #FleetElectrification #ElectricFleet #Electrification #Qmerit #QmeritCertified 

What happens when potential EV consumers don’t see EVs during their daily routines? 1/3 of US consumers haven’t been exposed to EVs or the benefits that they bring to drivers. EV driving means lower daily driving costs, a quiet driving experience, dependable acceleration, infrequent maintenance needs, and state-of-the-art technology. Increased visibility of electric vehicles can help to increase the adoption rate of EV leading the auto industry to become more sustainable.

E-mobility is set to significantly impact the energy transition, offering more than just climate-neutral driving; the batteries of electric vehicles can serve as temporary energy storage. This doesn’t only impact vehicle owners, but can also benefit the grid, making it more flexible. Power2Drive Europe, a major exhibition for charging infrastructure and e-mobility, will showcase the latest technologies and discuss necessary regulatory changes for bidirectional charging at its conference. Check out how vehicle-to-home, vehicle-to-building, and vehicle-to-grid solutions work and how they are changing the world of electrification for the better: https://hubs.ly/Q02DrXv20 . . . . #Electrification #Qmerit #QmeritCertified #EVBattery #BidirectionalCharging

The global transition to clean energy may not be as costly as often portrayed, according to a new analysis from RMI. The report argues that many estimates overlook the decrease in fossil fuel spending, leading to inflated figures. RMI's analysis suggests that global capital spending on energy supply is on track to increase by 2 percent per annum, reaching $2.5 trillion in 2030, which when considering the overall economic growth, is not a significant rise.

Goldman Sachs Exchanges says that electric vehicles could make up half of all vehicle sales by 2035. While we are still in the early stages of transportation electrification, they predict that the industry will undergo a profound transformation in years to come. They predict that prices of EVs will greatly drop as a result of decrease cost of materials. Almost one third of the purchase cost of an EV comes from its battery alone. Battery costs are expected to drop by 45% from 2023 to 2025. EV batteries are also becoming more accessible as manufacturers are focusing on using less rare earth for the EV batteries. In 2023, Tesla announced they had cut heavy rare earths by 25% and plan to make all next generation models without using any rare earths.

Renewable energy is on the rise in New Hampshire! Unitil Corporation has commenced site work on a 4.9 MW solar energy project in Kingston, New Hampshire, marking the largest project of its kind in the state. This project, featuring 11,232 panels on 36 acres of vacant land, represents a significant step forward in sustainable energy practices. It will be the first solar array owned and operated by a regulated distribution utility company in New Hampshire, showcasing Unitil's commitment to renewable energy leadership in the region. Set to be completed in 2025, this project will be constructed near an electrical substation, directly feeding into Unitil’s electric distribution system. This strategic placement will reduce the amount of energy the utility receives from the transmission system, enhancing efficiency and reliability. The project is estimated to generate approximately 9.7 million kWh of energy in its first year and is expected to average 8.6 million kilowatt hours annually over its projected 40-year lifespan.
