Successful businesses are constantly evolving to meet the needs of their clients and changing market conditions. Staying on top of these changes means adapting your business to incorporate the tools and solutions required to keep your business competitive.

Now is the time to consider integrating EV charging stations and other commercial solar energy solutions into your operations. They will support the needs of your personnel and patrons of your business and ensure your vehicle fleet has the power required to deliver the goods and services your customers depend on.

4 Reasons Businesses Should Shift Toward EVs

Time and money are your most precious assets. Shifting toward electric vehicles can save you both over the long run. It’s an investment in the future of your operations that pays considerable dividends and offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Electric vehicle fleets are cheaper to maintain and fuel than traditional transport fleets.
  • Government incentives and tax benefits for adopting electric vehicles and other green energy solutions can further enhance the savings you’ll enjoy.
  • Operating an emissions-free fleet is a positive attribute that eco-conscious consumers appreciate and increasingly seek when purchasing.
  • Electric vehicle fleets are safer and more convenient to operate because you do not need to store fuel on-site or manage accounts.

The Available Charging Infrastructure

The team at Solar Liberty will ensure your business has all the necessary infrastructure to support your electric vehicle fleet. From small businesses to global corporations, our EV charging stations, solar systems, and other solutions can be integrated to create a comprehensive network customized to your needs and plans for growth.

It’s happening worldwide, and your business won’t be the first to make the switch. Heathrow Airport, FedEx, Duke Energy, DHL, Comcast, AT&T, Cemex, and many other companies have already invested heavily in solar systems, electric vehicle fleets, and EV charging station infrastructure.

Making the switch to electric vehicles easier and more affordable

Investing in electric vehicles and the required infrastructure is a big decision for any business. It’s a considerable expense that you will need to plan and prepare to absorb into your operations. However, while it’s daunting on the surface, a little digging is all it takes to find the gold needed to foot the bill.

  • Time the purchase: Electric vehicle prices fell nearly 20% between June 2022 and June 2023. This trend will likely continue as nearly every automaker plans to roll out new electric vehicles in the next 12 to 24 months.
  • Install solar panels and solar battery systems: This will allow you to effectively harness solar energy to keep your fleet charged and on the road. It will also significantly reduce your monthly utility bills and thus offset many of the costs associated with your investment.
  • Research available tax credits and rebates: State and federal tax credits and rebate programs are numerous right now. These programs help foot much of the cost of upgrading your business with eco-friendly solutions, including electric vehicle fleets and EV charging stations.
  • Time your charging: Adjust your charging schedule to take full advantage of time-of-use charging. Similarly, you may have room to adjust your delivery and service schedules to make the most of each charge without slowing your operations down.
  • Consider vehicle-to-grid technology: Vehicle-to-grid technology and other energy-sharing programs allow you to transfer unused solar and vehicle battery power into the grid, thus generating revenue without affecting your operations.
