Electric vehicles may not perform in the way users first expect, but for fleets they are proving their road-worthy mettle while pointing to far more potential in the years ahead, according to results from aggregated driving data.

By their design and structure, EVs lend themselves to being more data-driven than any type of other vehicle. Data spurs the insights and metrics that lead to more efficiency for a fleet and minimizes energy demand while maximizing duty cycles.

Two analysts of medium-duty EV fleet data recently shared their results from early fleet adopters, which can help fleet managers choose the best path to electrification.

Adam Wilkum, director of E-Mobility for ROUSH CleanTech, and Nick Bettis, director of marketing and sales operations for Lightning eMotors, teamed up for a presentation Nov. 11 at the 2021 Fleet Forward Conference.

In this session, Bettis and Wilkum addressed some misinformation versus realities about medium duty fleet electrification. They drew on tangible results and findings as well as the data from many vehicle-duty cycles.
