Fleet EV Conversions: Cut Emissions & Costs

Fleet managers, let’s be real—your fuel costs are through the roof, and your vehicles are pumping out emissions like it’s 1999. Sticking with gas and diesel today isn’t just costly, it’s silly.

But here’s the good news: there’s a better way. A way to cut costs, slash emissions, and future-proof your fleet—all in one move.

The EV fleet conversion way.

Switching to electric isn’t just about sustainability brownie points. It’s a smart financial decision, with lower fuel costs, minimal maintenance, and massive incentives making the switch one of the best investments you can make right now.


Hypothetical Fleets: EV Fleet Conversion Savings

To see the power of EV conversions, let’s break it down with some real numbers in sample scenarios.

1. Urban Delivery Fleet:

Fleet Composition

50 diesel-powered delivery trucks

Annual Mileage per Vehicle

20,000 miles

Fuel Efficiency (GGEs per year)

1,765 GGEs (Source: AFDC)

CO₂ Emissions per Gallon of Diesel

10,180 grams

Annual CO₂ Emissions per Vehicle

17.97 metric tons

Total Fleet Annual CO₂ Emissions

898 metric tons


Impact of Conversion:

By converting this fleet to electric, the company could eliminate nearly 900 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually.


2. Public Transit Fleet:

Fleet Composition

20 diesel-powered transit buses

Annual Mileage per Vehicle

50,000 miles

Fuel Efficiency (GGEs per year)

9,605 GGEs (Source: AFDC)

CO₂ Emissions per Gallon of Diesel

10,180 grams

Annual CO₂ Emissions per Vehicle

97.78 metric tons

Total Fleet Annual CO₂ Emissions

1,956 metric tons

Impact of Conversion:

Going electric for this transit fleet would eliminate nearly 2,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually.


3. Corporate Sedan Fleet:

Fleet Composition

100 gasoline-powered sedans

Annual Mileage per Vehicle

15,000 miles

Fuel Efficiency (GGEs per year)

433 GGEs (Source: AFDC)

CO₂ Emissions per Gallon of Diesel

8,887 grams

Annual CO₂ Emissions per Vehicle

3.85 metric tons

Total Fleet Annual CO₂ Emissions

385 metric tons


Impact of Conversion:

Switching to electric sedans would cut over 385 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually.


Financial Considerations of Electric Vehicle Conversion Kits:

Fuel Savings: Electricity generally costs significantly less per mile compared to diesel or gasoline. For instance, a diesel school bus traveling 12,000 miles annually at 8.5 mpg would consume about 1,410 gallons of diesel. At $3.07 per gallon, that’s approximately $4,328.70 per bus per year. Electric buses can slash this cost.  

Maintenance Savings: EVs have fewer moving parts, leading to lower maintenance costs. A study comparing maintenance costs found that alternative fuel vehicles, such as those powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), had maintenance costs 23% lower than their diesel counterparts.




Switching to electric isn’t just a way to pat yourself on the back for your environmental acumen—it’s an operational upgrade for your fleet.

  1. Cut CostsLower fuel and maintenance costs deliver significant savings year over year.

  2. Reduce Emissions: Make a real, tangible impact on climate change by eliminating tailpipe emissions.

  3. Future-Proof Your Operations: Stay ahead of regulations and position your fleet as a leader.
