Episode one kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
Laolu introduces a clear framework for navigating the mobility energy transition, including the “electrification stack” and how to make informed, long-term decisions. Tyson brings VIN-level analytics to explain what’s driving continued market turbulence—from new-vehicle supply and used-vehicle values to incentives, tariffs, affordability, and residuals. Richard closes out with a grounded look at EV incentives, total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling, infrastructure tax credits, and the state and utility programs influencing electrification economics as federal support evolves.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What current J.D. Power data reveals about pricing, depreciation, and market volatility
• How incentives and policy shifts are shaping EV demand and fleet planning
• Where cost-saving opportunities still exist for electrification
• How to use data-driven tools to build a phased, financially sound EV rollout strategy
If you manage fleet operations, procurement, or electrification planning, this episode delivers the clarity you need to navigate a fast-changing market.
