🛻 ☀️ We made fleet electrification more attainable for MA-based solar installer Solect Energy – with the help of our partners at 3Degrees Group, Inc.! Check out the results of our combined efforts in the video below. Solect Energy is one of the largest solar installers in the country, and we provided them with a #Ford F-150 Lightning through our Electric Vehicle Pilot Program to test in its fleet operations (more on EVPP: https://lnkd.in/eint2Sjx). What did the drivers think? Naturally, there first was caution about adapting to new technology, but now there's a clearer understanding of the capabilities of EVs and the opportunities that come with them. One operator said, “The power of the truck is just phenomenal; I have a different viewpoint now.” Another employee mentioned that he “showed it to countless people – anyone who would come look at it.” Catch our initial electrification analysis of Solect's fleet to understand how we approach the process: https://lnkd.in/eg2chNN4. Change can be a challenge, but it never has to be painful. #FleetElectrification #Testimonial #Solar #ElectricVehicles

We are thrilled to see our very own David Eckels' 2022 Rivian R1T, Lorax, reaching such an incredible milestone of 20,000 miles on the rugged roads of southern Utah! It’s a testament to the versatility and reliability of EVs, proving that they can indeed take on a variety of conditions and roadways. Here’s to many more miles and adventures ahead! 🚗 ⚡️ 🌍
Lorax, our 2022 Rivian R1T, hit 20,000 miles this weekend on a washboarded road in southern Utah. I've enjoyed driving a lot of EVs, but this is the first one that would take me to places like this! If you still don't think #EVs can adventure, check out this map of where we've taken it so far (some planning required - we do still need more #charging). Shoutout to Electrify America and Etta Place Cider for powering this trip!
