Is wireless charging the future of commercial EV fleets?

Similar to a smartphone charger, drivers simply park over an embedded pad to automatically begin charging at high power. 🔋

While this entirely eliminates the daily hassle and high maintenance costs of broken heavy-duty cables, it has no shortage of growing pains.

Fleet managers, keep an eye on inductive charging. ⚡

Remember, electric fleets were once considered 'crazy'. 😏

The metals in your EV battery may have come from your junk drawer. “Urban Mining” allows us to recover 95% of critical minerals from old tech, reducing the need for traditional mining. With $62 billion in e-waste generated annually, the future of EVs depends on turning our old phones into new power.

Did you know your old tech could be back on the road?

Is this the bridge between gas and electric you’ve been waiting for? ⛽️🔋 The 2026 EREV lineup is officially here to end range anxiety. You get the silent, instant torque of an electric motor with the infinite road-trip capability of a diesel hauler. The new Ramcharger is pushing nearly 700 miles without a stop. EV holdouts, would you finally make the switch?

EVs or EREVs?

Traditional vehicles often spend a surprising chunk of time just idling. Think of delivery vans at the curb, or trucks waiting at a loading dock, commuters stuck in traffic, and so on..
All that time, they’re burning fuel to keep the engine on.
In fact, a heavy-duty truck can use roughly 3/4 of a gallon of diesel an hour while idling.
So, when evaluating EV vs. ICE, remember to factor in idle savings. It’s an efficiency gain that’s easy to overlook.

For years, nickel-based batteries dominated EV conversations. That changed in 2025.

LFP battery demand jumped 48% in a single year, making it the fastest-growing EV battery chemistry globally and pushing it ahead of nickel-based packs in total deployment. What started as a China-first strategy has now gone global, with Europe and parts of Asia rapidly adopting LFP for both consumer EVs and fleets.

The reason is simple. LFP batteries are safer, more affordable, and better suited to real-world driving habits. They handle frequent charging well, are less sensitive to high states of charge, and offer long cycle life with fewer degradation concerns. As charging infrastructure improves, automakers are realizing that durability and consistency matter more than chasing maximum range numbers.

The EV market is maturing. And LFP’s rise shows where things are headed next.

Hooking a trailer to your EV? 🔗
Be prepared for a noticeable range drop, sometimes cutting your expected miles in half.

The drag from a big trailer is like a parachute behind you, whether you drive electric or gas.

The difference is, an EV’s battery gives you a few hundred miles to start with, so losing 50% means more frequent pit stops. In real tests, an electric pickup that normally goes ~250 miles on a charge might only do ~125 miles when towing a heavy box trailer at highway speed. The powertrain has the torque for the job (EVs are great at towing in terms of muscle), but energy use soars. Every hill is steeper and every gust of wind is louder in the battery’s ears.

Why does charging slow down so much after 80%? It’s all about protecting the battery. Early in a charge session, your EV battery can gobble up power at full throttle - that’s the Constant Current phase, when the charger is pumping out juice and the battery isn’t yet full.

But as the battery approaches 70-80%, it’s like filling a glass the rest of the way to the brim: you pour more carefully. The vehicle shifts to Constant Voltage mode, holding the voltage steady and easing off the current.
Charging power might drop from, say, 150 kW down to 50 kW or less as you go from 80% to 100%. This is completely normal and actually good for the battery’s longevity. In fact, those last few percent not only take longer -they also generate more heat and stress. That’s why EV experts often suggest charging to ~80% for routine needs (and why many fast chargers and vehicles default to stopping there.

Battery 100% or 80% - what’s the rule? It actually depends on the type of battery in your EV.

If you drive a Tesla or Ford with an LFP battery, go ahead and charge it full on a regular basis - that chemistry likes a full charge now and then, and Tesla even wants you to hit 100% weekly for calibration. But if your EV uses the more common nickel-based cells (the majority of EV models today, it’s better to treat 100% as a special occasion. Day-to-day, charging to around 80% will significantly reduce stress on the battery. The last 10-20% of charge fills the cells to high voltage and generates more heat, which over years can sap a bit of capacity.

Keeping the battery in a mid-range (say 20%-80%) whenever practical is the secret to long life, along with avoiding letting it sit at 0% or 100% for too long. 🔋

Tips

03/03/2026

Is running out of charge in an EV a real worry? Not really - today’s electric vehicles really do try to stop you from stranding yourself.
Unlike a gas vehicle that might sputter out with little warning, an EV is constantly communicating about its remaining range. Even at “0%,” the vehicle isn’t truly zero - manufacturers build in buffers so the battery won’t damage itself by fully draining.
The reality is most EV drivers never experience a 0% battery. Smart trip planning and ever-expanding charging infrastructure make it easier to stay charged up, and your vehicles own navigation will usually route you to a charger long before you hit “empty.” With accurate range estimates from ZEVA, you can drive with confidence.
