PSO Fleet Advisory Education Initiative

Fleet operators are under growing pressure to make decisions about electrification, but the right answer isn’t always clear-cut. Navigating these changes requires a partner with a comprehensive understanding of diverse fleet operations and an unbiased perspective on the technologies and strategies available. The PSO Fleet Advisory Education Initiative offers such guidance, collaborating with Sawatch Labs to provide fleet operators with the clarity needed to make informed decisions for their unique circumstances.

Sawatch works with a wide range of fleets—from public utilities to private businesses—offering practical, data-backed recommendations. Recognizing that the optimal path forward differs for every organization, their approach centers on providing unbiased advice that’s supported by a fleet’s operational data. Planning in advance ensures fleet managers can optimize electricity use, determine how PSO’s fleet tariff option  works best for your business, and identify the types of chargers you should use. Sawatch’s commitment to impartiality ensures that you receive transparent insights into the most effective strategies, whether that involves optimizing existing internal combustion engine (ICE) fleets or strategically planning to adopt new technologies.

Understanding Your Unique Fleet Needs

Every fleet operates differently, and Sawatch begins by getting a close look at how your fleet runs day-to-day. The process involves collecting minute-by-minute data on your routes, vehicle usage, and/or other operational data. This in-depth analysis forms the foundation for understanding your current needs, challenges, and goals. That understanding is the foundation for everything that follows.

Work with an EV Advisor

With a solid understanding of your fleet's patterns and goals, Sawatch Labs offers an evaluation of available technologies. This includes a thorough assessment of the potential benefits and drawbacks of electric vehicles (EVs), as well as strategies for maximizing your EV charging strategy. The recommendations aren’t based on trends or pressure; they’re based on what works best for your operations.

Strategic Transition Planning

If electrification looks like a good fit, Sawatch provides expert guidance on developing a strategic transition plan. This includes analyzing suitable EV models, understanding charging infrastructure requirements, and optimizing charging strategies to maximize cost savings and operational efficiency. Their data-driven approach ensures that any transition is well-informed and aligned with your long-term objectives.

Optimizing EV Fleets

For organizations already operating EV, Sawatch Labs can provide insights and services to report on their current operation, report on successes and make recommendations to enhance savings.

So, as you consider electrifying your fleet, make sure to take advantage of PSO’s partnership with Sawatch to ensure your business fleet operations meet your expectations for the future.
