Fleet electrification
Element Fleet Management is committed to helping you navigate the complex changes that accompany the transition to electric vehicles (EV). Our dedicated team brings deep EV and sustainability expertise, and we have an extensive network of strategic partnerships around the globe to support clients with vehicle acquisition, infrastructure and charging solutions and navigating the evolving ecosystem of EV service providers and regulatory changes.
To prepare for the evolution of EVs, every fleet – no matter how big or small – should be thinking proactively about an EV transition strategy.
The strategy will be unique to every client depending upon their industry, fleet size, and whether they require end-to-end electrification of their fleet, in-office or in-home charging infrastructure, or strategic advisory services.
Considerations in designing a transition strategy to Electric Vehicles
