MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – Google’s philanthropic arm, Google.org, has released a new report assessing the potential impact of broad clean-tech energy policy adoption.

The report, prepared using McKinsey & Company’s US Low Carbon Economics Tool, found that a national commitment to clean-tech innovations could result in major reductions in battery costs as well as in increases in energy density. These advances could result in EV cost of ownership dropping below that of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030, according to one model. Moreover, EVs could be built with a 300-mile range by that same year.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
