Step 9

Convene implementation team and execute project management strategy

Questions

Define expected results and measurements of success from the initial transition/pilot; determine how you will measure the actual results. What are your KPIs? Examples include:
- Vehicle uptime
- Percentage of on-time routes
- Percentage of charge used
- Miles per day/vehicle
- Cost per mile of operation electricity
- Maintenance cost per mile
Identify which staff member will be accountable for reporting and Key Performance Indicator management.
Train current maintenance staff on EV maintenance or find local mechanics in your area to outsource maintenance to.
Educate the team — especially the drivers — on the systems, charging, distributed energy resources (DERs) and EVs.
Launch the pilot.
