Everyone is asking: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

We think that's the wrong question.

The biggest charging network in America already exists: 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱.

For light-duty fleets with take-home vehicles, the future isn't more charging depots. It's turning existing residential charging into a coordinated, intelligent network.

The shift happening isn't from gas to electricity.

It's from 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

The companies that win won't be those deploying the most hardware. They'll be the ones managing the flow of energy, payments, and data across distributed charging locations.

Home charging isn't just a cost-saving strategy.

It's the foundation for the next generation of fleet energy networks.

If you're a fleet operator, utility leader, EV industry executive, or investor helping shape the future of energy, we're curious how you're thinking about the role of home charging, distributed energy resources, and orchestration in the next chapter of fleet electrification.

SBD Technologies' Founder, Kamal Ayad, covers these exciting topics in a new white paper, "From Charging Infrastructure to Energy Orchestration: Why Home Charging Will Become the Backbone of Small Fleet Electrification." ⚡

In this white paper, SBD Technologies' founder Kamal Ayad makes the case for light-duty fleet managers and operators of electric vehicles to utilize the biggest existing charging network in the United States: millions of homes connected to the grid. Instead of building more commercial charging depot...

Did you know that EV fleet vehicles can make up to $9,000 a year by selling power back to the grid using V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technology, according to John Hurdle of Delaware Public Media? (Link is in the comments.)

Electric vehicles are unused an average of 96% of the time, which makes them a huge asset for energy storage.

With changing regulation and industry standards, plus the immense energy needs of data centers, the application of V2G technology is exciting and the time for it is right now.

SBD Technology’s AI-driven EV fleet charging management and payment platform has a V2G component, SBD FleetGrid, that transforms each vehicle into an active energy asset so it can dynamically respond to grid demands in real-time. Reach out to learn more.

“The goal is to detect and address charging problems before they affect fleet operations.”

A panel of executives from companies including Amazon, LG, and Pepsi shared their thoughts about the changing commercial electric vehicle market at the recent ACT Expo. They asserted that the conversation has shifted from scaling networks to how to deliver charging and energy to fleets most efficiently.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is the standout metric for fleets. CEOs are taking note that fueling and lower cost of maintenance advantages for EVs now exist over traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

At SBD Technologies, this is music to our ears. We’ve built our AI-driven EV fleet charging management and payment platform to help fleet managers address utilization, route, and charging strategies. Specifically, SBD FleetHome taps into existing infrastructure–residential property–without needing to build expensive charging depots. Charging a fleet using existing structures makes it easier and faster to scale a business. Get in touch with us if you’d like to learn more: 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼@𝘀𝗯𝗱𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘀.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Fleming County Schools in Kentucky received its first electric bus in April 2024 and the resulting savings are remarkable: "The district now operates 24 electric buses alongside three propane and seven diesel buses. Transportation Director Kerri Marshall said the difference in operating costs is stark. Electric buses run at about 13 cents per mile compared to roughly 55 cents per mile for diesel. In practical terms, the district spent approximately $240,000 on diesel and propane fuel in the 2021 to 2022 school year, and $280,000 the following year as prices climbed. Then, over 15 months from August 2024 to November 2025, the district spent just $67,000 to operate 17 buses. Marshall puts the annual savings at around $200,000."

Another impressive benefit of adopting an EV fleet? The ability to take advantage of vehicle to grid technology (V2G). "A single electric school bus battery can power an average home for several days. A fleet of them becomes a distributed energy asset."

This enables EV fleet batteries to send stored energy back to the electrical grid during peak demand hours. Not only can this come in handy as a backup power source during emergencies, but districts can take advantage of this benefit as an additional revenue stream.

NYC Surpasses 1,000 EVs in Law Enforcement! This is an impressive milestone, and having all law enforcement vehicles electrified five years ahead of schedule by 2030 is another achievement. Improving air quality and reducing fuel costs are the way to go. We're glad to see that "New York City is electric!" ⚡️

There is an increasing opportunity to invest in the global electricity grid. We're going to need it to support economic growth and future prosperity. From a J.P. Morgan report: "In the U.S., grid investment is expected to hit ~$1 trillion over the coming decade, split between transmission (37%) and distribution (63%). U.S. private capital indicates investors also see a growing opportunity, with volumes increasing from $3.2 billion in 2021 to $6.6 billion in 2025." ⚡

Electric grids worldwide are undergoing a transformation as surging electricity demand from data centers and electrification collides with aging, risk-prone infrastructure. This creates both national security imperatives and investment opportunities for grid resilience.

From Bloomberg: "Electric vehicles are increasingly cost competitive with gasoline cars... Oil volatility means EVs are a common-sense choice for countries wishing to insulate themselves from future shocks."
