The Fleet Poll: Your Opportunity to Ask Tough Questions
How high will gas prices go in 2023? When will the supply chain return to some semblance of normalcy? And what will it take for vehicle availability to finally pick back up?
By Ted Roberts, President, FMW
These days, there are a lot of important questions circling around fleet. Which is exactly why Fleet Management Weekly has teamed up with FLD Remarketing to introduce The Fleet Poll, a bi-weekly poll that will present questions on topics where fleet professionals want deeper insights.
The poll takes less than 30 seconds to answer two multiple choice questions. If you have a topic or question you’d like to know more about - we’d love to have you as a “guest asker” for a future fleet poll.
How Fleet Managers Can Earn Revenue from Their Parked EVs
Vehicle-to-everything turns an EV charging system into a revenue center

The conversation around EVs is evolving rapidly, giving fleet managers a new way to measure their fleet’s positive impact on their company’s bottom line. What’s the change? EVs are batteries on wheels that enable fleet owners and operators to earn revenue from their local utility while their EVs are parked.
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) bidirectional charging systems is the technology that makes this possible. This means that EV charging stations for fleet owners and operators are shifting from a cost center to a revenue generator, reducing the cost of acquiring, owning, and operating EVs.
