Abstract :
Historically the EV market has focused on providing services such as charging infrastructure based on master planning in the hope that end users will want to use the provided assets. This model has been shown to fail in certain instances with stranded assets and non-viable business models. This paper demonstrates how Route Monkey is working with partners to create demand within fleets for the deployment of EV´s by identifying where the vehicles work effectively in duty cycle terms and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Thereafter; supplying solutions in the form of products and services that de-risk the procurement and subsequent planning process and maximise the ROI of the assets.
