Executive Summary
This report presents the findings of a study conducted by a group of students in the BCIT
Sustainable Business Leadership program. The purpose of the study was to identify the
barriers/opportunities (perceived and real) fleet managers face in adopting electric vehicles
(EVs) in their fleets; and to provide at least one organization with the business case of replacing
one conventional vehicle(s) with an electric vehicle(s) in their fleet.
The study involved surveying fleet operators involved in an electric vehicle (EV) Suitability
Assessment program, which data logged their existing fleet vehicles, then displayed the data
alongside ‘best-fit’ EVs for fleet operators to better understand potential cost savings by
switching to EVs. The two surveys, which were designed to have identical questions, were sent
out prior-to and after receiving their findings from the EV Suitability Assessment to uncover the perceived and real barriers the fleet
