EV Fleet Advisory for Australian Fleet and Asset Managers
Building an EV fleet transition plan is a series of connected decisions, not a single one. Most organisations developing an electric vehicle fleet strategy take advice from suppliers with products to sell.
SolSombra works for your fleet — not the suppliers. The result is a fleet electrification plan built on your requirements.
The challenge
Why EV fleet Consulting Makes it Easier for Fleet and Assest Managers
EV fleet management is harder to execute than it looks. Most fleet and asset managers developing a fleet electrification plan are navigating these five challenges.
Vehicle Selection
EV suitability assessment essential. Models vary in range, payload, and towing.
Charging Infrastructure
Depot capacity, grid timelines, charger specs, home charging.
Total Cost of Ownership
Purchase price is not the whole picture. Full model required.
Supplier Management
OEMs, lessors, charger suppliers, energy retailers all need coordinating.
Change Management
Drivers, ops teams, fleet systems all need to adapt.
