- Mitra surveyed 300 fleet managers in four states, revealing less than a majority have adopted any EVs.
- California fleet managers are the most knowledgeable about EVs and the most likely to electrify, reflecting the state’s early zero‑emission fleet mandate.
- Colorado fleet managers are the least knowledgeable and the least likely to adopt EVs, according to the survey.
- Georgia fleet managers show higher EV knowledge and adoption intent than those in Ohio, where awareness lags.
- Mitra reports that managers want a one‑stop‑shop solution that bundles vehicle delivery, charger installation, and maintenance.
Why it matters: Small‑mid fleet operators stand to gain as state incentives expand, with one‑third of states already mandating zero‑emission fleets; this will spur demand for chargers and create new revenue for installers.
