Northbrook,ILL,USA -Fleet Owner, by Sean Kilcarr -Jul 12, 2010: -- Nearly 65% of 100 private and government fleets in a recent nationwide poll say they are “not likely” to purchase either a plug-in hybrid or all-electric vehicle, primarily due to a lack of data regarding operating cost, emission reductions, vehicle specifications, pricing, resale values, and fuel efficiency... Chelsea Mathis, an environmental consultant told FleetOwner that many of the fleets participating in Donlen’s survey expressed particular concern regarding the battery charging process... Roughly 35% of fleets responding to Donlen’s survey viewed saw a plug-in electric vehicle as a good fit for sales application drivers, with 25% targeting service drivers. More than 25% of respondents would target the Midwest region as the starting point for the use of plug-in electric vehicles, while the majority would consider multiple regions... More than 46% of respondents would charge their electric vehicles at an office location with 33% charging their vehicles at home, according to the survey...
