[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16584773, member: 116684"] As it is now- no. One small local fleet went EV, only to realize that the local power company needed to install a whole new substation to the tune of several hundred million dollars to support it. It turned out to be a much more expensive endeavor than originally anticipated. That's the thing- by the time EVs are ubiquitous that ownership is going to be obsolete. The future is going to be autonomous ride share services. Like Uber/Lyft, but no drivers, and the OEM owns the vehicle. You subscribe to their app, and can summon their vehicles to take you from point A to B. Lots of OEMs are already dipping their toes in it and planning around it, including Ford. [/QUOTE]
