The Fleet Electric Vehicle Pool
Why is it risky to put your EVs in the pool?
Electric Vehicle Fleet Modelling Project with Plug-in BC Matching the right EV to the right duty cycle with fleet operators in the province of British Columbia
Price of gasoline in British Columbia is rising
Electric Vehicle Fleet Modelling Project with Plug-in BC Matching the right EV to the right duty cycle with fleet operators in the province of British Columbia
In North America: • Vehicles spend 20% of their driving time idling • >32% of vehicle owners would financially
benefit from electric powertrains • <3% of vehicle purchases are hybrid or electric
Electric Vehicle Fleet Modelling Project with Plug-in BC Matching the right EV to the right duty cycle with fleet operators in the province of British Columbia
The EV utilization challenge for fleet operators
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) need to:
• Be range capable for their
fleet application, while keeping the vehicle utilization up
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) need to:
• Maximize their electric
driving as a proportion of total utilization

What do we do?
Part 3 How we do what we do
Electric Vehicle Fleet Modelling Project with Plug-in BC Matching the right EV to the right duty cycle with fleet operators in the province of British Columbia
3 Step Approach to Successful EV Integration
(1) Data log existing fleet of vehicles
(2) Test your duty cycle data in
FleetCarma’s EV computer models
(3) Modelling results are reported in a user-friendly web portal, including
a ranking of the best-fit EV for each duty cycle examined
Will EVs be capable to do the job? Will they save fleet money?
How are vehicles currently used in the fleet?
Which EV technology best matches fleet needs and optimizes TCO?

Results from Plug In BC assessment
Sample size: • 9 fleets assessed • 123 duty cycles vehicles monitored • Baseline fuel consumption ranged from 6.0 L/100km to 34.9 L/100km • Annual utilization ranged from 901 km/year to 69,000 km/year EV capabilities: • Only 6% of the duty cycles logged would have not been range capable with at
least one of the all-electric vehicle options • In 81% of the duty cycles logged, the best-matched EV was fully charge capable
with a Level 2 (240 Volt, 30 amp) charging station.
Using EVs with a 7-year service life: • Fuel cost savings from baseline: $1.4M • Maintenance cost savings from baseline: $77K • Emissions Cost Savings: $87K • Total electricity added to the grid by converting these to EV: 732 MWh • GHG emissions reduction potential: 3,527 tonnes of CO2e

Perspective for a program participant
Question 1: What did you learn about integrating electric vehicles into your organization’s fleet through this program? Did the modeling reveal helpful information from being able to model EVs in your own duty cycles? Question 2: Where do you think you would begin with electric vehicles knowing the results of your fleet’s EV suitability assessment?
