Fleet-as-a-Service Model Emerges as Key EV Resource
The recent opening of a Zeem Solutions charging lot provides an alternative to fleets who prefer to outsource their charging access and expenses.
For fleets, a monthly payment offers a menu of services that starts with a lease for the electric vehicles, procured and managed by Zeem. From there, fleets can opt for overnight and daytime charging, routine maintenance, cleaning, and inspections for the EVs, as well as take advantage of secure parking and a lounge for drivers.

An empty lot near the Los Angeles International Airport, rows of EV chargers deliver 10 megawatts of power to support the charging of 220 commercial electric vehicles overnight and more than 500 vehicles throughout the day.
That’s enough power for eight or nine Walmarts or 1,000 homes.
The owner of the lot, Zeem Solutions, serves the commercial fleet market. To define Zeem’s mandate succinctly, choose transportation, energy, truck, depot, charging, EV, or fleet and add “as a Service.” The word you choose defines your exact needs.
Zeem’s goal is to consolidate EV services for fleets across the country in commerce hubs such as airports, ports, and distribution centers with constant fleet activity.
As electrification moves from theory to reality, the on-the-ground challenges loom large — fleet organizations lack the knowledge, bandwidth of time and personnel, and the considerable budget required for a full rollout of charging infrastructure and commercial EVs.
