Can EV-as-a-Service Help Fleets Scale Electrification?

Spotify

September 4, 2026

  • Adam Cain, CEO of Sustainability Partners, discusses strategies for fleets to effectively scale electrification through the EV-as-a-Service model.
  • Successful electrification in fleets depends on aligning electric vehicles (EVs), suitable charging infrastructure, and understanding specific duty cycles.
  • The approach aims to make fleet transition smoother and more efficient by addressing logistical challenges in electrification.

Electrifying a fleet takes more than simply adding electric vehicles. Fleets also have to consider duty cycles, charging infrastructure, power availability, vehicle utilization, and how quickly EV technology is changing.

In this episode, Adam Cain, president and CEO of Sustainability Partners, discusses how EV-as-a-Service (EVaaS) can help fleets move beyond small pilot programs and take a more comprehensive approach to electrification. Cain explains how matching vehicles and charging to real-world operations can support larger deployments, why utility coordination remains a challenge, and how a service-based model can help fleets navigate evolving vehicle technology and uncertain residual values.

The conversation also looks at EV deployments in states including Hawaii and New Mexico and why the right electrification strategy starts with one question: Does the application fit?
