The Odyne plug-in hybrid drive system reduces fleet operating and maintenance costs, and depending on duty cycle, enables large trucks to obtain significant fuel economy improvements compared to traditional diesel engines. Although the county automotive fleet includes hybrids, these are the first hybrid trucks they are putting to work.

By cutting red tape and avoiding costs for construction and electrical work, combined with free solar energy, Beam Global says its EV ARC systems can offer customers a lower total cost of ownership compared to grid-tied charging stations. This may well be the case with the EV ARC, a solar-powered off-grid charging station made by Beam Global.

Charged : The energy players you mentioned, you’re talking about stationary storage on the grid? There are these really large grid storage [systems], which have hundreds of megawatt-hours, sometimes even gigawatt-hours. That’s a fund based in Chicago, a very operational and hands-on fund in the energy and electric mobility space.

The research, led by Associate Professor Brian Stone, shows that expected levels of CO 2 emissions from cars and trucks in 2050 could be reduced back to close to 2000 levels if the full vehicle fleet was converted to hybrid electric vehicles—a greater reduction in CO 2 emissions than achieved by two smart growth scenario modelled in the study.

Charging-as-a-service is a popular option for fleet operators who want to focus on their core businesses and let experts handle the charging infrastructure. Zeem’s fleet-as-a-service model adds vehicle leasing and ancillary services to the equation. How many vehicles in your fleet? So we started focusing on the services.

The Proterra Energy division offers a turnkey electrification solution for fleets, including financing, charging infrastructure and maintenance. I think reliability matters whatever market you’re in, but when it comes to fleet vehicles, there’s certainly a higher demand for getting to that 99.9% uptime requirement.

Notice in [link] that GM carefully avoids claiming to reduce CO2 by shifting to the grid, but leads people off the track by focusing on smog related issues. The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2. GM knows better and guards against making fraudulent claims. Many others are not so careful.
