Many industries are now required to gradually reduce their emissions. The Biden administration intends to increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States over the next few years. In fact, they have recently issued an executive order that states by 2030, EVs should make up half of all new vehicles sold in the United States.
If you are a fleet manager, you might be wondering how EVs could benefit your fleet and if they live up to the hype. In this article, we will discuss these questions in more detail.
The Benefits of Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a great solution because they are versatile, and can be used for a variety of applications including light-duty, medium/heavy-duty, and even off-road projects. Let’s look more closely at some of the benefits you could take advantage of by incorporating EVs into your fleet.
Higher Savings
Generally, EVs have lower running costs due to their excellent efficiency. The U.S. General Services Administration mentions that the average cost of operation and maintenance for light-duty all-electric vehicles is roughly 3 cents per mile. EVs operate most efficiently in stop-and-go traffic, which is common in many fleet applications. Because electricity prices are more stable than those for gasoline and diesel, it is also much easier to forecast future fuel expenditures for EVs over traditional gas-guzzling vehicles.
Less Maintenance
Due to the way EVs are designed, they typically require less maintenance than regular cars. They are subject to safety testing requirements and must fulfill federal safety standards in order to operate on public roads, so you can depend on them to hold up.
Energy Efficiency and Reduced Emissions
Because of high efficiency and low to zero-emissions benefits, Hybrids, and EVs can help you and your organization meet environmental objectives, demonstrate a responsible approach to the environment, and set you apart from your competitors.
The Benefits of Poulsen Power EV Charging Stations
You might be wondering how you could charge your EVs. At Bridgeport Magnetics Group, Inc, we are proud to offer Poulsen Power EV Charging Stations that carry with them many advantages over the competition. These include but are not limited to the following:
Affordability
Unlike competing brands, the Poulsen Power Charging system eliminates the expense of running a dedicated 240V line from the building’s power panel to the location. The Poulsen Power EVSE Charging Station gives you Level 2 EVSE charging from the existing 120V-20amp circuit serving the area, which is converted to 240V-20amp.
Installation of the Poulsen Power Charging system can be done inexpensively by exchanging the single-throw circuit breaker in your power panel with a double-throw breaker. Once the 240V circuit breaker is installed, the electrician will mount the Poulsen Power EVSE charging station on the wall.
Reliability
Our Poulsen Power series of charging stations are compact indoor/outdoor units that can be wall-mounted in a parking structure. All models are encased in sturdy, corrosion and vandal-proof metal enclosures, ensuring you can always depend on them when you need them most.
With the ongoing climate change caused by environmental pollution, it is more important to take care of our environment than ever before. At Bridgeport Magnetics Group, Inc, we are proud to contribute to this cause by selling reliable and affordable EV Charging Stations. Contact us today to learn more about our charging stations.
