About this webinar
Element Fleet Management hosted a global EV webinar “Leading the charge: fleet electrification strategies” on May 17, 2023. Jason Kazmar from Element and industry experts from Motorq, National Grid, and Cox Automotive provided actionable insights to unlock electrification lifecycle and value by leveraging connected data.
This interactive panel discussion was centered on harnessing data to inform strategic decisions, to optimize battery electric vehicle fleet operations. The speakers provided unique perspectives on EV adoption, operations, and remarketing.
Here are 3 key takeaways from the event
- Take advantage of powerful EV data solutions
EVs on the market today provide multiple insights. Data can be derived from both the vehicles and the chargers. One powerful feature is state of charge alerts while driving. Fleet operators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and utility companies can use connected data to make improvements and benefit the wider industry.
- Optimize infrastructure and costs
Coordination with local utilities is essential for fleet electrification enablement and operational optimization. Data is vital for electric infrastructure (grid) planning and to establish the most cost effective and efficient way to build charging infrastructure.
- Prolong vehicle health and value
The battery is the most expensive part of an EV, representing up to 40% of the vehicle's value. Understanding the state of the battery is important, as it impacts residual value and the usable range over time. The data can help fleet owners to extend battery life span and to determine battery health, so that they can maximize resale value.
