Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA) for Fleets

Your roadmap to a greener, more cost-efficient fleet

 

At Vanir Fleet, we understand that embracing electric vehicles (EVs) isn’t just about sustainability—it’s about improving your bottom line and staying ahead of regulations. Our Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA) provides real-world, data-driven insights to help you transition your fleet to electric with confidence.

Through advanced telematics and performance analytics, our EVSA pinpoints the vehicles best suited for electrification, projects total cost of ownership, and guides you toward the optimal charging strategy for your operation.

Go Electric With Confidence

Our EV Suitability Assessment combines big-picture strategy with granular detail, arming you with everything needed to confidently electrify your fleet.

Identify ideal EV candidates

Dig into real-world telematics data to find the vehicles in your fleet that are ripe for electrification—no guesswork required.

Build a robust business case

Calculate and compare total cost of ownership for both EVs and ICE vehicles, including fuel/electricity, maintenance, and potential grants or tax incentives.

Get in-market EV model recommendations

Browse real-time options based on your location, vehicle classes, and range requirements.

Evaluate environmental impacts

Understand your potential reductions in CO2 emissions and future-proof your fleet in line with sustainability targets.

EV options for depot-first charging

• Best for: Delivery or service fleets with a central hub.
• Key benefit: Minimise downtime by charging vehicles at primary dwell locations—perfect for fleets that find on-route charging disruptive.

Extend range when public charging is accessible

Best for: Urban municipal fleets with easy access to public charging stations.

Key benefit: Gain flexibility if vehicles don’t always return to base, or need extra range during longer or irregular routes.

Decentralised electrification

Best for: Sales teams or fleets parking on the street and using multiple dwell locations.

Key benefit: Reduce reliance on a single charging hub by tapping into public and destination chargers for expanded coverage.

Reduced Emissions

CO2 footprint calculation: Estimate how your electrified fleet cuts emissions and tracks against corporate sustainability goals.

Fuel consumption savings: Understand the exact environmental benefits and fuel cost reductions over vehicle lifespans.

Transparent data sources: Our analyses use EPA and WLTP ratings for the most up-to-date and accurate carbon estimates.

Commonly Asked Questions about EVSA

What is an Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment?
An Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA) is a strategic analysis that uses your fleet’s real-world telematics data—covering speed, distance, idle times, and more—to determine which vehicles can effectively transition to electric. It factors in battery range, charging availability, and total cost of ownership, enabling you to replace your vehicles with the best-fitting EV alternatives.
How does telematics power an EVSA?
Telematics devices track the daily driving habits of your fleet (distance per trip, idle durations, speeds, ambient temperature) before an EVSA. Using that data, we precisely match your existing vehicles with electric models that meet the same operational demands. Our insights draw from the largest set of real-world EV performance metrics available, plus EPA and WLTP ratings.
Which fleet vehicles can be replaced by EVs?
Most fleets can benefit from electrification, but the key is to match each vehicle’s daily driving profile with the right EV. Our EVSA zeroes in on vehicles that will benefit the most—optimising range, TCO, and reliability.
How quickly can my fleet go electric?
The transition timeline depends on factors such as fleet size, charging infrastructure, and budget constraints. Our team helps create a phased approach, focusing on the quickest wins first while planning for a smooth rollout to all suitable vehicles.
Does Geotab track electric vehicles?
Yes. As a GEOTAB partner, we support over 200 electric vehicle brands and models worldwide. Our constantly updated database ensures we always recommend vehicles that are accurately tracked and monitored.
