EVs have been a major part of the fleet conversation for years, but where does that conversation stand now?
In this video, we revist electric vehicles in public sector fleets after covering the City of Long Beach’s pilot program with its first all-electric refuse trucks. The discussion looks at why EV fatigue is understandable, why electrification is still part of fleet planning, and how agencies are weighing full EV transitions against hybrids, infrastructure needs, duty cycles, and day-to-day operations.
Long Beach’s electric refuse truck pilot offers a useful look at how fleets are testing EVs in more demanding applications, using real-world data, charging plans, and route performance to guide future decisions.
