With the benefits electric vehicles (EV) can bring to the bottom line, it’s no surprise that fleet managers are increasingly exploring EV adoption. Beyond reduced carbon emissions, becoming a more eco-friendly fleet can cut operational expenses with no fuel costs, lower maintenance costs, improve efficiency and productivity, and build brand value.
When it comes to operating costs for fleets, what a difference a year makes. In the 2020 calendar year, feet operating costs were lowered, as many fleet vehicles were idled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s hardly the case for 2021, according to findings in Automotive Fleet’s 29th annual operating cost survey. So far this year, fleets have experienced an increase in operating costs in all expense categories across the board.
