Canoo Inc. announced Kingbee, a national work-ready van provider, will begin using Canoo LDV 130 vehicles in its fleet.
Kingbee will purchase 9,300 Canoo vehicles with an option to increase to 18,600 vehicles, subject to availability.
“We are excited for the opportunity to help fleets transition to electric vehicles. Fleets of all sizes use Kingbee as a flexible option for vehicle acquisition, and we’re honored to be among the first to add Canoo to our EV portfolio,” said Scott Haslam, CEO of Kingbee Vans.
Whether you drive a beater or a luxury vehicle, every driver should have the best car safety kits and devices in the case of an emergency.
Most pre-made kits cost less than $100, and they come with everything you need for most common car-related emergencies: dead batteries, flat tires, or run out of fuel. If you need a tow truck during one of these events, the things in your car will help keep you comfortable while you wait.
Safety kits can include a portable jump starter that can bring a dead battery back to life all on its own. You can choose one that can also charge your handheld devices and has a built-in LED flashlight. That checks off another thing you’ll need in your car safety kit.
Hertz is selling off a third of its electric vehicle fleet, which is predominantly made up of Teslas, and will buy gas cars with some of the money it makes from the sales. The company cited lower demand for EVs and higher-than-expected repair costs as reasons for the decision.
The sell-off began last month and will continue through 2024. As some electric vehicle-focused blogs have noted, they’re being sold at steep discounts. The company said in a Thursday morning filing that it is recognizing “approximately $245 million of incremental net depreciation expense related to the sale,” which is a dry way of saying it’s taking a bath on the decision. Hertz told shareholders that it believes it will be able to make up that loss in the coming years.
Shell offers a variety of helpful digital tools to increase efficiencies and to green your fleet.
