Judging by projections made earlier this decade, we should, in 2026, be well on our way to a massive scale-up in corporate fleet electrification. In 2020, McKinsey projected 8 million fleet EVs in the US by 2030. But the reality on the ground looks very different.

So, what happened? ⁉️

In a recent article for Sustainability Decoded, Sustainability Management faculty member Scott Fisher examines the evolving road to fleet decarbonization, exploring the role of pricing, charging infrastructure, market dynamics, and global trends in shaping corporate electrification progress. 🛣️⚡🚗
