Dominion Energy's award-winning Fleet Electrification Guide is designed to support your project every step of the way, from initial planning to charger installation and beyond.The electric vehicle (EV) market is rapidly expanding, providing more options and benefits for fleet electrification. Transitioning your fleet can reduce costs, cut fossil fuel emissions, and create a healthier work environment. Our award-winning Fleet Electrification Guide is designed to support you through every step of the process, from initial planning to implementation.
Successful electric fleet transition starts with collaboration. Engage your internal and external stakeholders early to build consensus and address potential challenges.
Establish defined goals to guide your electrification journey efforts. Clear objectives empower effective planning and ensure your organization achieves its desired outcomes.
Analyze your current fleet usage to pinpoint opportunities for EV integration and cost savings. Conducting driver surveys can uncover additional fleet requirements.
Choose from a range of electric vehicles tailored to your fleet's size and operational requirements. Prioritize factors like range, efficiency, and charging options to align with your specific needs.
Once you’ve identified your electric fleet vehicles, start planning your charging infrastructure. This includes determining the best charging levels (Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Charging) for your fleet’s needs. The table below summarizes the range (miles) that different levels of charges can add to different vehicle types in one hour.
Our online calculator can help you develop a charging plan while estimating your fuel savings.
Despite initial startup costs, EVs often offer long-term savings through reduced maintenance and available incentives. Explore federal, state, local, and utility incentives to help offset initial investment costs.
Once your plan gets approved, it’s time to kick off your charging project. Depending on your timeline, this can happen alongside or before acquiring vehicles.
Some organizations follow a structured buying process for vehicle procurement, while others opt to lease EVs to test the waters.
Your organization may have an established approach to managing construction projects. Whichever approach you decide, it’s important to coordinate with utility providers early to ensure smooth infrastructure support.
As you integrate EVs into your fleet, you’ll gather valuable insights that guide adjustments to your strategy. Regular evaluations highlight successes and reveal areas for enhancement. Utilize wealth of data and tools available with EVs and charging equipment to monitor performance effectively. Engage stakeholders regularly to incorporate their feedback and refine your approach.
