The higher the utilisation of the vehicles , the more the drivers tended to use public fast charging , even if they had access to overnight home charging . The most recent data shows they chose public charging for 68 % of their charging needs .
Despite the heavy usage , there have been no battery or electric drivetrain issues with the vehicles . The only problems have been warranty issues such as a wheel bearing and an ECU failure . The maintenance costs for electric are much lower as there are fewer moving parts and requirement for lubrication . We are just starting to replace the tyres .
So what ’ s next for Evie Mobility ? We continue to deploy charging infrastructure across Australia . We can share our electric fleet experience and help you apply for the state and federal grant funding which will be available later this year . We can even supply some subscription vehicles .
