EV sales have already surpassed gas vehicle sales in Europe. Now commercial fleets across North America are evolving quickly, with Canadian fleets at the helm of change. The eventual dominance of EV's is inevitable: EVs are a better, more efficient technology that can help reduce costs as much as they help reduce emissions. It is clear that for most transportation applications, EV will win out. If you are in the transportation industry, the sooner you can start saving money by moving to EV and the sooner you are geared towards the new operating reality of needing to charge, the better you’ll be able to compete in the future.
