Prepare for electrification

Rich, data-driven insights for fleet electrification
The first step for fleet electrification is to gather the data needed to make informed decisions.One Step GPS provides easy access to the data you need to plan.See historic routes for all vehicles for up to 3 years.Understand daily average use and maximum distances by vehicle and route to help inform buying requirements.See vehicle age, maintenance records, engine diagnostics, and more from a single dashboard.Easily log and access costs and downtime from vehicle maintenance so you can compare against EV alternatives. EVs don’t require many of the maintenance items of ICEs.Gain critical insights into driver behavior and coach the changes needed to adapt to EV driving.

Make Planning a reality
With the insights you’ve gathered, you can now make a plan for electrification.Identify the best vehicles and routes for electrification based on routes driven, average daily mileage, charging station availability, and more.Some routes will be ideal for HEVs or PHEVs, while a BEV can handle others.In the planning phase, you’ll also account for how many chargers you’ll need for your fleet. In some cases, fleets with fewer daily average miles can share one charger between two vehicles, reducing the barrier to transition.Now is also the right time to plan and implement a training program to educate and prepare drivers for behaviors that extend EV battery life. Luckily, most of the same behaviors that reduce fuel waste also extend battery life.

Fleet sustainability FAQs

One Step GPS helps fleets with four major phases of transitioning to EVs:
  1. Gather actionable data to inform which vehicles can and should be replaced with EVs, average and peak range for various vehicles and routes in your fleet, cost of ownership analyses, and preparatory behavior changes that will prepare your drivers to transition to electric driving.
  2. Data-informed planning to help decide which EV types and available models are the best options to replace your current vehicles with and the needed infrastructure to keep your fleet charged.
  3. Post-purchase evaluation, where you track and understand how your new EVs meet their demands by gathering data on the actual state of charge, available range, and how real-world factors affect battery life.
  4. Measure, achieve, and report on your sustainability goals.
To make the transition to an electric fleet as smooth as possible, you first need to gather practical data on how your vehicles are used. Real-world usage data will give you clarity and confidence in the process.To start, gather these key data points from your existing fleet:
  • Average daily driving range
  • Maximum daily driving range
  • Route(s) driven, are charging stations accessible?
  • Average speed, 50-60 mph is generally the most efficient driving speed for EVs
  • Driving behavior that will impact battery performance in an EV: hard braking and acceleration
  • Consider the seasonal shifts of temperature your vehicles will operate in. Temperatures above 100 °F and under 32 °F can significantly impact battery range.
One Step GPS enables easy access to this data and stores up to three years' worth, giving you complete access to the full range of data points needed.With the above data available, you can begin planning your transition. The second step is to determine which vehicles in your fleet are most suitable for replacement and which available EV models can fill their roles:
  • Based on your unique considerations, determine the best candidates in your fleet for replacement
  • Create a replacement timeline that supports your organization's goals for fleet electrification
  • Assess the data points (gathered above) for each vehicle you plan to replace, in sequence, to understand the real-world demands its EV replacement will need to meet
  • Identify available EV models that will best fill the role; in some cases BEVs will be best, and in others, HEVs or PHEVs will be needed
  • If lifetime cost of ownership is an important part of your assessment of which vehicles to electrify first, now is a good time to assess this information
The next major project is to determine and plan your charging infrastructure:
  • Determine the number, type, and power demands of chargers to support your growing electric fleet
  • Consider the routes and demands of each vehicle carefully. For example, some vehicles may only consume 50% of their battery life daily and could potentially share a single charger for a more cost-effective solution
  • As a part of your planning, don't forget to take an inventory of available public charging stations along your common routes. Modern fast chargers can charge new EVs to 80% in as little as 15 minutes
  • Plan the best place for installing your new chargers. If your employees have take-home vehicles, consider sponsoring level 2 chargers in their homes
Finally, you will make your first vehicle acquisitions:
  • Plan for the charger installation with your utility company and electrician service
  • Work with your dealer to purchase or lease the EV models you've chosen
  • Be sure to take advantage of all available credits, rebates, tax benefits, etc.
Lastly, you'll want to be sure you learn for the future. It's valuable to continue recording all of the data points you gathered in the first step above and some additional ones, such as:
  • Real-time battery charge percentage
  • Live battery range
  • Alerts for low charge
You'll want to observe how your new EVs perform against the expectations you had for them. Ask yourself questions like:
  • Are my vehicles coming within 10% of their potential range daily, or do they have miles to spare on our current routes?
  • Can I coach my drivers to improve range?
  • Can I replan my routes to maximize efficiency?
  • How does battery life fluctuate seasonally?
One Step GPS can help you answer all of these questions and more. After you've purchased a few EVs and learned how to make maximum use of them, you'll feel more confident making your next acquisitions and meeting your goals for transitioning your fleet.At any time during your transition, you're invited to reach out to one of our US-based fleet specialists to help with any aspect of the switch to electric.

The answer to this question depends on how you plan to use the vehicle:BEVs or Battery Electric Vehicles run only on electricity. They need to be charged when their range gets low. A BEV's range varies from 150-350 miles or more, depending on the make, model, driving conditions, and behavior.A level 2 charger (~240V) can charge a BEV from 0-80% in 4-10 hours, while a level 3 charger (also called a DC Fast Charger) can charge a BEV from 0-80% in as few as 15 minutes.BEVs are generally a good choice to replace vehicles with lower daily average mileage or easy access to level 3 chargers along their routes.HEVs, Hybrid Electric Vehicles, or Hybrids for short, supplement a combustion engine's power with an electric battery, increasing MPG. They require fuel and do not require electric charging.The average MPG of a modern hybrid vehicle is 60 MPG. This vehicle type may be best for long-range needs where level 3 chargers are not readily available.PHEVs or Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles run entirely on an electric charge until the battery is nearly depleted, then switch to a mix of electrical and standard combustion power.They require both electric charging and gasoline. Because they begin with a fully electric charge, these vehicles are best in applications with a low daily average mileage but where occasional extended range is needed.
Yes!As you accumulate data on your routes and the demands of your vehicles, One Step GPS can help you decide on the best model EVs to replace your existing fleet with.
Many behaviors that save fuel, improve safety, and reduce emissions also extend EV range. With an EV, these habits become even more important as charging is only sometimes readily available and takes longer than the gas pump.Prepare your drivers by educating them on good habits and EV-specific driving considerations:
  • Keep speed under control, EVs generally have the longest range when driven at 50-60 mph
  • Avoid harsh braking—slower braking and one-pedal driving maximize the regenerative functions in the wheels and extend battery range
  • Avoid rapid acceleration—EVs expend a lot of charge when speeding up too quickly
  • Avoid running the heater or AC at full blast
  • Be aware of changes in battery range in cold or hot weather, range can significantly decrease in extreme temperatures
Yes!With One Step GPS, you can confidently assign EVs to their optimal routes and deploy new vehicles with confidence.Monitor the percentage of charge, remaining vehicle range, and distance driven, and set alerts for low charge so your drivers never run out of range because the vehicle was not fully charged.Our charging station map overlay shows the nearest available charging stations for each vehicle on the road.

Many of the behaviors that reduce emissions will translate into extended EV range when you transition.Coach your drivers by educating them on good habits:
  • Keep speed under control—speeding is one of the major emission-generating behaviors and can drastically reduce battery life in an EV
  • Avoid rapid acceleration
  • Turn off the engine rather than idling—it only takes about 30 seconds worth of fuel to start up a modern vehicle's engine, making idling nearly always an unnecessary emissions source
  • Ask drivers to report potential maintenance issues as soon as they notice something odd—unhandled maintenance issues can inflate carbon waste and cause premature vehicle wear
  • Incentivize your entire fleet by setting goals and gamifying the good driving behavior that will get the whole team working to achieve them.
