Electrification of Refuse Haulers
Unlike the light duty segment, most medium and heavy-duty BEVs (battery electric vehicles) available today do not achieve cost parity with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles over their service lives.
When Choosing Telematics, Be Specific
The realm of telematics is rapidly expanding, which means the vast opportunities, efficiencies, and risk management it offers fleet managers is rapidly expanding as well. However, telematics is still an area in which many feet managers have uncertainties
EV Infrastructure: How to Start and How to Expand
As more government fleets transition to electric vehicles, learn from fleet managers who’ve been there.
Edison Energy partners with Sawatch Labs to guide organizations on vehicle electrification for fleets
A fleet makeover starts by analyzing minute-by-minute data from on-board telematics, distinguishing highway miles from stop-and-go driving, and giving fleet managers confidence in electric vehicle conversion.
Practical Advice for Fleet Electrification
Sarah Booth from Sawatch Labs talks on GovCast (https://www.government-fleet.com/) about vehicle range and maintenance, the biggest barriers to electrification and how to overcome them, and how and when to work with utilities on infrastructure.
Verizon Connect charges up EV fleet management with Sawatch Labs
How many miles do we drive? How often would I need to charge my vehicles? Do we need to install charging stations or could we have our drivers charge at home? These and many other questions are on the minds of fleet managers and mobile businesses as they consider making the leap from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to electric vehicles (EVs).

Whitepaper – Identifying Electric Vehicles to Best Serve University Fleet Needs and Support Sustainability Goals
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) provides technical and analytical support to the U.S. Department of Energy’s alternative fuel programs, including the State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleet Program. Through the program, the U.S. Department of Energy implements regulations pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct), as amended, which requires state and alternative fuel provider fleets to acquire alternative fuel vehicles and requires alternative fuel providers to use alternative fuels in those vehicles where the fuel is available.
Whitepaper – Impacts of Increasing Electrification on State Fleet Operations and Charging Demand

Through the program, the U.S. Department of Energy implements regulations pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct), as amended, which requires alternative fuel providers to use alternative fuels in those vehicles where the fuel is available.
Measuring (and Minimizing) EV Total Cost of Ownership
Driven primarily by sustainability goals, government agencies around the country are looking to increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) into their fleets. These fleet managers are faced with trying to calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) with many new factors, which can be daunting.
22 Takeaways from the Fleet Forward Conference
The Fleet Forward Conference convened once again in person Nov. 10-12 at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose. This year’s agenda had a heavy focus on electrification, particularly with commercial EVs and building infrastructure to support them.
Thwarting Thieves and how Telematics can Help Fleets and Individuals Alike
Helping a friend in need is always a great feeling. Using telematics to help a friend locate their stolen vehicle, however, gives one a whole new level of pride.
Maximize your Telematics Value from Day One
Maximizing your telematics value is all about the level of effort you put in and being a good bandmate.

Will the Ford Lightning work for Fleets?
Will a Ford Lightning work for my fleet pickup? We ran the numbers for a University fleet this morning and the answer is, for many pickups, yes.
Key Elements of a Successful Telematics Implementation
When choosing the best telematics system one should consider both the customer experience as well as the robustness of the hardware. There are many great service providers available today and a fleet's best option may vary based on their specific needs.
Consider Fleet Carbon Lock-in
Avoid fleet carbon lock-in, it costs your fleet and the planet. Scenario analysis can help you weigh economics, operational needs, and sustainability based on today and with an eye for tomorrow.
Municipal Fleet Electrification Brings City of Cincinnati Closer to 2035 Carbon Neutrality Goal
Over the last decade, City staff have been hard at work through the Green Cincinnati Program, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 84 percent below 2006 levels by 2050. Achieving this target will be no small feat, and the City is identifying several key actions across the built environment, energy, food and water, and transportation sectors.
