EV Adoption is Accelerating

More businesses, including small fleets, are adding EVs – thanks to lower operating costs, improved vehicle availability, and growing confidence in the technology. In 2025, over 630,000 EVs have been sold in the U.S. through June 1, 2025 (almost seven million EVs have been sold in the U.S. since December 2010). (Source: EPRI)

EV Myths: Let’s Set the Record Straight

Still unsure if EVs are right for your fleet? You’re not alone. There are plenty of myths and misconceptions that can make electrification seem more complicated than it really is. We break down some of the most common myths about EVs – with facts to help you make informed decisions.

EV Myth #1

EVs are too expensive for small fleets.

Reality

While the upfront cost of an EV may be higher, lower fuel and maintenance costs can lead to significant savings over time. Incentives and tax credits can also reduce the initial investment.

EV Myth #2

EVs have limited driving range.

Reality

Many EVs offer ranges between 200-400 miles and advancements in battery technology are expected to further increase range.

EV Myth #3

EVs are not suitable for cold climates.

Reality

Modern EVs have thermal management systems to handle low temperatures allowing for reliable functionality across diverse climate ranges.

EV Myth #4

Charging is inconvenient and takes too long.

Reality

Charging options have grown significantly, with more public and private stations available every day. Many small fleets can charge overnight at a central location, minimizing downtime.
