Which routes can't an electric truck or van do yet?

Some Routes Can't Go Electric Yet

Not every route is ready for an electric van or truck today. The honest answer depends on your specific vehicles and your specific day — not on a brochure. Fleet Fuel & Charge looks at the vehicles and daily routes you describe and flags which ones an EV can't do yet, alongside the cost per route today versus electric.

What Makes a Route Hard for an EV Today

To compare your routes, the tool asks for the details that actually matter:

MPG of your current vehicles
Daily miles driven
Towing loads
Where the vehicles park overnight
Local gas and electricity prices

Routes with heavy towing, long daily miles, or overnight parking far from any charger are the ones most likely to stay gas for now. The tool tells you which of your specific routes fall into that category, based on what you enter.

What a Depot Charger Changes

Charging at your home base is different from relying on public charging. The tool compares fuel versus charging cost per day and per month, and shows what installing a depot Level 2 charger changes for your routes versus depending on public charging along the way. It also shows the maintenance difference between gas and electric.

How to Decide Which Vehicle to Switch First

Instead of switching the whole fleet at once, the tool points to which single vehicle makes sense to switch first, based on the payback range for your numbers. It also lists the routes that should stay gas for now, and the questions worth asking your electrician and the dealer before you buy anything.

What This Tool Can't Tell You

Fleet Fuel & Charge is free for one route and built for fleets of 2–25 vehicles. It follows public DOE AFDC methodology, but it doesn't know:

Your vehicles' real-world efficiency
Your utility's demand charges
Current incentive rules, which change

Any of these can change the answer materially. This is an estimate, not a quote — it uses the numbers you give plus typical EV efficiency figures. Verify incentives with the IRS and your utility before counting on them, and consult your electrician, utility and tax professional before buying vehicles or chargers. The tool is not affiliated with any manufacturer, dealer or utility.

What to Do Next

The free tool reads your own vehicles and routes — your MPG, your miles, your towing, where you park, and your local gas and electricity prices. It gives you cost per route today versus electric, what a depot charger changes, which vehicle to switch first, and which of your routes should stay gas for now. It's free for one route.
