Ep. 157: Fleet -> Navigating the F-Word of Electrification Hesitation

Sherb Brown, President of Fleet Connection (and Former President of Bobit Business Media) and John Possumato, CEO of DriveItAway join the show today to talk about the *many* challenges of fleet electrification, particularly for small businesses with small fleets. Sherb goes into great detail about his experience in the fleet industry, noting small fleet owners often lack knowledge about topics like EVs and fleet management. Cost is a major concern for small fleets, who focus more on upfront costs rather than lifecycle costs and plug-in hybrids are seen as a potential solution, but have limitations in range for commercial vehicles. Overall, Sherb and John highlight the need to better serve the "non-fleet" small business segment when it comes to fleet electrification and management. _______________________________Connect with Elena:https://evs4everyone.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenaciccotelli/Let's talk on X:https://twitter.com/EVs_forEveryoneAre you connected with the show on LinkedIn? https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-evs-for-everyone-podcast/________________________Connect with Sherb Brown on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherb-brown/Connect with John Possumato on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnpossumato/
