Optional Fields
As part of the Plug-in BC program, the Fraser Basin Council and FleetCarma partnered with the TRU Sustainability Office (as well as other interested organizations in British Columbia) to determine electric vehicle suitability for their fleets. During the 2013-2014 school year, TRU was involved in this Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment with 14 of its fleet vehicles.
After a three week period that assessed driving patterns, it was determined that many of the 14 vehicles were suitable to be replaced--once they came to the end of their life-cycle--with an electric vehicle. It was determined that the extra up-front retail cost would be more than offset by the long-term savings during the anticipated life span of an electric vehicle.
