In my company we looked hard at going electric and the biggest problems for us were initial cost, range and charging time between shifts. Perhaps the next iteration of electric vehicles would change that. $20-25K is the upper range for us in per vehicle cost, range has to be a couple hundred miles and charging time needs to be less than a half hour in order to facilitate 2 shifts per day.

Great to have your insight.

What about fuel or maintenance costs? Assuming those were factored into cars initial cost too?

I mean range is covered easy, but I get the charging time. It would have to be some sort of complex rotation schedule.

Any insight as to rider approval? or loyalty? As in more riders would prefer your company over another cause you are using electric cars?
