Our team at Flipturn has talked to dozens of fleets about electrification, or replacing their gas or diesel vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). In every conversation, the same questions come up again and again:

  1. Which electric vehicle models are right for my fleet?
  2. How will the total cost of ownership compare to my current gas or diesel vehicles?
  3. How do I charge my vehicles?
  4. How much do I qualify for in government incentives such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and California HVIP?
  5. What will be the impact on my emissions?

Today, we’re introducing Flipturn Assess: the fastest way to evaluate electric vehicles for your fleet.

With just a few pieces of information about a vehicle, Flipturn Assess will give you a detailed overview of suitable electric vehicle replacements, total cost of ownership, necessary charging infrastructure, incentive amounts, and more. 

While EVs can be more expensive to purchase or lease than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the total cost of ownership is often lower than ICE vehicles due to savings on fuel and maintenance. We’ve described how electric cargo vans can be less expensive to operate than gas-powered cargo vans; Flipturn Assess lets you input your data to see exactly how much you could save, specific to your fleet. 
Our company is on a mission to help fleets adopt and manage their electric vehicles, so we’re making this tool available online for free.

What’s included in a vehicle assessment?

Flipturn Assess can provide an electrification snapshot for any vehicle in your fleet. 

Browse the EVs that are suitable for your vehicle’s duty cycle and local climate. Many fleets hesitate to try EVs because of concerns around range, so Flipturn Assess takes into account local temperature when identifying compatible vehicles and recommended chargers. We’ll let you know when the local climate may affect the range of your selected EV and by how much.

                   

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Understand total cost of ownership, and dive into the details. Electric vehicles are often more expensive to purchase, but are less expensive to operate than ICE vehicles. Our assessment will describe how much you should expect to save on fuel and maintenance, and at what point in the vehicle’s lifetime you will break even compared to operating a gas or diesel powered vehicle. If you know your current vehicle’s maintenance and per-gallon fuel costs, Flipturn Assess lets you plug in those custom numbers to make your assessment even more accurate.                  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Identify necessary charging infrastructure. There are hundreds of EV charger models available on the market, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands. Flipturn Assess will use information about your vehicles’ dwell times and energy needs to recommend a minimum charger power rating and approximate cost.

See how much you could qualify in government incentives. Flipturn Assess will report how much you could qualify for in government incentives through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Federal Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit and California HVIP. Curious about other incentives your fleet could qualify for?

Quantify environmental impact. Going electric is one of the best ways your fleet can reduce its environmental footprint. Not only can Flipturn Assess be used to make the business case for electrification, you can also identify the impact of electrification on your fleet’s carbon emissions.
