Fleets are going electric - a chat with PowerFleet CEO Chris Wolfe

Send me a messageOn this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I welcomed back Chris Wolfe. Chris is the CEO of PowerFleet - a global mobile asset solution provider. Chris was on a previous episode of the show talking about PowerFleet, and how it helps organisations manage their fleets of vehicles. He reached out to me to talk about how he's seeing a trend in fleets to electric vehicles. This should come as a surprise to no one especially given the recent Consumer Reports study confirming that “drivers of electric vehicles are saving an average of 50% on maintenance and repair over the life of a vehicle compared to owners of gas-powered vehicles” And electric vehicles being a topic I love, I immediately asked Chris to come on and chat about that.Chris has a rich history in this space (having bought one of the very first Tesla Roadsters) , some of which I managed to tease out of him during this chat. He also talked knowledgeably about the space, and the latest trends in it.The audio quality on this podcast is not great at times because while we were interviewing there was someone outside Chris' home office using a leaf blower (unfortunately, not an electric one) and so that interfered with his sound.Other than that, we had fun putting this podcast together, I hope you enjoy listening to it.
