Amazon, AT&T, IKEA, Clif Bar, DHL, & Others Launch “Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance” (CleanTechnica)

  • Non-profit organisation Ceres has announced the formation and launch of the Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance to help companies accelerate the transition to EVs.
  • Members include DHL, Amazon, AT&T, Clif Bar, Consumers Energy, Direct Energy, Genentech, IKEA North America, LeasePlan, Lime, and Siemens
  • The focus is on commercial vehicles rather than passenger EV’s, a segment that has received less press coverage, but which potentially could have more impact

Analysis and Comments

  • Ceres highlights that more than half the vehicles on the road in the US are commercial – SupplyChainDive estimates that transport in total contributes nearly 30% of US CO2 emmissions
  • For commercial vehicles, especially delivery vans, analysis is that the purchase decision is very cost driven
  • This means that the lower operating costs for EV delivery vans carry greater weight in the buying decision
  • There is a mid term market potential in markets such as Europe, where diesel & petrol fuel costs are higher

It certainly makes sense to start with corporate vehicles. It's more likely to have EVs filtering down into the second hand car market quicker.
