EP 153: The Truth about EV Costs: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Pt. 1
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Electric vehicles. Conventionally fueled vehicles. Hybrids.
On The Fleet Success Show, Josh Turley and Marc Canton have talked about them all. In this episode, they’re diving into the raw numbers to show you the (not always beautiful) truth about the costs of EVs.
Josh and Marc dispel the myths around assumed cost savings when switching from fueled vehicles to electric to give fleet managers the data they need to make decisions with their eyes wide open. Pulling information from places like KBB, Edmunds, and the EPA, Josh and Marc compare conventionally fueled vehicles (CFVs) to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
