Apple PodcastsSpotify

April 24, 2026

Electrification isn’t theoretical anymore — it’s operational. 

In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world. 

Hear how fleets are managing DC fast charging deployments, home charging challenges, battery storage and microgrids, vehicle right-sizing, and evolving federal and state mandates. Panelists also unpack the financial pressures behind zero-emission transitions — including rate structures, capital planning, resale value concerns, and shifting incentive programs. 

If you're navigating electrification under tight budgets and uncertain policy conditions, this episode delivers practical insights from leaders doing the work today.
