Most delivery companies switching to electric make the same three mistakes. I've seen it happen over and over.

1. Planning EV routes like diesel routes. Electric vehicles have fundamentally different range profiles. Hills, HVAC usage, payload weight — they all eat range in ways diesel never did. You can't just swap the vehicle and keep the same routes.

2. Ignoring charging infrastructure placement. Your depot charging setup matters more than your vehicle spec. A fleet that charges smart can run 20% more deliveries per day than one that doesn't. Most operators figure this out 6 months too late.

3. No real-time visibility. If a driver's battery drops below plan mid-route and nobody knows until they call in stranded, you've already lost money. Real-time state-of-charge monitoring isn't optional — it's table stakes.

We built ChargeFleet to solve all three. Route optimization that accounts for real EV physics, smart charging schedules, and live fleet visibility.
