For major companies with large vehicle fleets, a core tenet of decarbonization efforts can be found in fleet electrification. A host of large corporations including Amazon, UPS, and Walmart have all made EV fleet commitments or signed agreements to purchase electric delivery vehicles. Patrick Sullivan, co-founder and CEO of EV Realty, a California-based company focused on accelerating the adoption of commercial EV fleets and building out their charging infrastructure, joined Energy Evolution to talk about fleet electrification and the challenges of constructing a charging network to support it.
