EV Connect and Skycharger unveiled a Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) program to provide fleet managers with new financing and service options for EV charging infrastructure. The FaaS program offers a simple path to acquiring, deploying, and maintaining EV charging infrastructure with no upfront costs, according to EV Connect.
The operating expenses-based service model provides a cost-effective solution for fleet managers looking for a hassle-free option, without substantial out-of-pocket costs, for managing zero-emission fleets, it said.
“We are pleased to partner with EV Connect to provide businesses with a financing option to electrify their fleets and build out electric vehicle infrastructure with little or no upfront capital costs,” said Andy Karetsky, Skycharger president, in a statement.
The FaaS program offers EV charging at a predictable monthly cost, including the cost of electricity, and represents a full-stack approach, simplifying the zero-emission fleet experience from installation to driver support. Through turnkey EV charging solutions, FaaS customers benefit from expert consulting at every phase of the electric vehicle supply equipment's life cycle, from site planning to deployment, operations, and management, according to EV Connect.
“With an EV fleet solution like the one from Skycharger, fleet managers can replace the uncertainty of fluctuating petroleum fuel costs and stabilize operations with lower, set-cost rates for electricity,” said Jonathan Leicester, VP of Fleet at EV Connect. “We are excited to continue our work with Skycharger to provide mixed fleet services that empower fleet managers during the transition to EVs, giving them the best of both worlds in terms of stability and cost savings.”
FaaS is currently available for fleet customers of all sizes and includes Level 2 and fast-charging equipment from EV Connect partners BTC, EvoCharge, PowerCharge, Tritium, Zerova, and others.
