Automakers around the globe have announced more than $300
billion of EV investments, with fleet electrification for
rideshare, delivery, municipal, autonomous, and other market
segments further accelerating the shift to e-mobility. EVgo’s fleet
solutions offerings help fleet operators manage the transition from
fossil-fuel reliance to electric fleets at the pace that meets each

“Fleet electrification is top of mind for a number of our
transportation customers, but the process of adopting EVs can
present unique operational challenges,” said Christopher Mozzocchi,

combination of EVgo’s integrated, networked charging solutions and
Samsara’s Connected Operations Cloud helps users optimize their
electrification strategy reliably and cost-effectively.”
