As we work to simplify electric vehicle adoption for commercial fleets, we couldn’t do it without our team of industry experts who have a combined century of experience in energy transition and fleet electrification. This includes esteemed industry veteran Kevin Prince, our VP of Sales and Development. Kevin has two decades in the energy industry experience, 16 of which have focused on helping commercial and government entities procure renewable energy.

What excites you the most about the EV fleet industry?
A few things! First, the ability to provide an option for fleets to transition their fleet from gas/diesel to electric, while also enhancing their operational, environmental and economic performance. Second, the growth potential in the commercial fleet market is huge and we get to become a key part of the solution by helping companies and government authorities transition their fleet. With the transportation sector accounting for almost 30% of US GHG emissions and medium and heavy-duty vehicles accounting for over 20% in that sector, we will have a direct and concrete impact on reducing emissions. Finally, the recent legislation created by California’s Advanced Clean Trucks and Advanced Clean Fleets are becoming the benchmark for other states – with over 90 million commercial vehicles in the US likely impacted.
What do you see as the future of fleets?
An emission-free fleet that improves the air quality and well-being of the communities they serve, all while operating in a safe, reliable and cost-effective manner.
What is one fun fact about you?
I play soccer twice a week and I also support Arsenal, Forest Green Rovers (the first carbon-neutral football club!) and the Oakland Roots.
