This was really informative about crypto, thanks for sharing! Small question here: I own a SafePal wallet with USDT in it and I have the recovery phrase (stereo blade emotion empower fence position oil crouch crisp churn bachelor hidden). What's the best way to send them to Binance? Much appreciated.

While your depreciation numbers may be real, I think your numbers are not realistic, here is why: First, 2018 was the first year Mass Market EVs were available, both the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 were introduced in 2017, consequently, being new models, their prices were high and discounts were generally not available. Secondly, Chevrolet dropped the price of both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV by $6,900 in 2022. This price drop automatically made older models worth less (accounting for most of the lower resale price in 2023 shown on your slide). Additionally, Tesla began dropping their prices in 2022 and since Tesla is the market leader, the prices of all EVs fell (even Ford was forced to reduce their pricing on the Lightning and Mach-e). Third, The price premium for an EV compared to a comparable CFV (ICE vehicle) is not present in today's market. Many EVs have already reached price parity with ICE vehicles and many more will reach parity in 2025. Finally, the auto market has been anything but normal over the past 5 years. For example: if you purchased a new vehicle in 2021 or 2022, you would have paid a hefty premium for that vehicle ($5,000 - $20,000) and if you sell that vehicle in 2026 or 2027 your depreciation expense/Capital Cost will make the EV depreciation/Capital Cost numbers from your slide look small by comparison. I don't believe you can take a chart that covers the last 5 years of the automobile industry and use those numbers to forecast into the future any valid extrapolations. There has just been too much turmoil in the auto industry during that period to allow for any credible conclusions or predictions. The EV market is new and it is going to have some anomalies in the data while the market tries to mature, I think your analysis exposes those data anomalies for this 5 year period.

Hybrids are not the answer for Fleet vehicles. Here is why: When the Chevy Volt was first introduced, a lot of fleets bought them (GM had a really good deal for Fleet customers), unfortunately, more than 80% of the miles driven on those Volts were powered by Gas, NOT Electricity. Because, there was no incentive for the Fleet drivers to plug the car in, the drivers all had company credit cards (or corporate expense accounts) and it was just easier to pull into a gas station and fill up using the corporate credit card (just like they did with the previous company cars they drove). Unless there is an incentive to plug in, or the cars are parked next to a charging station at night, it will be difficult to change peoples behavior. If, on the other hand, fleets convert to EVs, peoples behavior will have to change because there will no longer be a choice. Note: I am talking about light duty vehicles here, Medium and Heavy duty vehicles will probably be hybridized before a BEV version becomes available (excluding Box trucks and Semis, these are already available as BEV).

Foundry from Palantir is your solution

Government Entities can claim the tax credit on EVs starting in tax year 2023 using the IRS Elective Pay Program. There are also less restrictions on that credit than for individual consumers.

This episode is gold!!

Great insite on the EV landcape, there are so many factors that play into it, charging infrastructure is a big upfront cost and should be addressed before you start buying vehicles so that you are actually able to put them in service. I think that the value proposition will continue to get better though. You are incorect about the tax credits for government entities though. "Businesses and tax-exempt organizations that buy a qualified commercial clean vehicle may qualify for a clean vehicle tax credit of up to $40,000 under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 45W" www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/commercial-clean-vehicle-credit

Something to keep in mind, in the shifting emissions, even if you are shifting to a gasoline fired boiler, ICE/CFV cars are currently at best 30% work from the energy in the fuel. Current boilers are up to mid 90% efficient. Meaning that even with grid losses, charging losses and everything else, it's better to burn the fuel at a power plant.

Hands down the best training I ever had learning a software. I have since changed company's and we are currently learning changing programs. I cant help but compare the two, RTA is excellent

RTA is a stellar program

EVs are heavier so tire wear is greater

Way to much chatter about eyes wide open

Good podcast fam. Am new here and i can confirm that this is so much informative 🎉🎉

i need reading books for fleet management

Do you know the reason for the low number of views on your TH-cam channel?

Lmao ethics in 2024 😂

I Am an Entreleadership Alum & I was there at that Summit. Great sessions, great speakers, & great networking...! Now I understand the structure & energy of RTA. Delony for sure, "the bricks..." N.C.

Well, if an EV catches fire the battery burns, but they don’t go up in a massive ball of flames like most people seem to think.

Great Podcast gents! My question is for Marc, You said that you are going on a road trip, are you going to take the electric car on this road trip? Road trips with family and kids is stressful enough let alone worrying about how much battery I have left and where I'm going to charge to add to the stress level. I know that I have come close to running out of gas once or twice on road trips. Also, I would like to get your guy's thoughts on the tire wear that we're seeing on our Electric trucks? Currently in our California Fleet we are getting anywhere from 4 months to 6 months on the tires due to the weight and torque of the trucks. My sister has a Tesla that is just shy of a year old and is now having the same issues. Just one last thing, I'm not sure about y'all calling people "idiots" for their comments. If you want the questions and feedback then you should be able to have an open conversation without the names. Just my opinion.

Great information

EV9 is an abomination of a car and sums up everything wrong with EV's today. The size, the weight, the cost (it's a Kia FFS!) but the worst thing is the current trend with car makers who can't make batteries more efficient, so the only way to increase range is to put BIGGER batteries in cars, which is exactly what they shouldn't be doing. EV9 has a 110kWh battery (100kWh usable). Just ridiculous. Is this going to become normal?

Why the f do you need a permit for an EVSE? It's like govts are putting deliberate roadblocks in the way of EV adoption. I live in Australia, one of the most over regulated countries in the world and all we need is a licensed electrician. No permits because you're doing what every other electric device in the home does - taking power from the grid. The only exception I could think of is if your connection is not big enough then you might need approval to upgrade it.

Great Content guy's! It's good to see that Marc has finally made the move the West Coast 🤣 I have now subscribed to the channel and look forward to more great content. By the way this is Matt Hashimoto from Utah (TransFleet Services)

Great content guy's! Happy to hear that Marc has moved to the West Coast..(FINALY) 🤣 I have now subscribed and can't wait to see more content.

In Houston , Texas they are facing a 7 days blackout due to storms. You can use your EV, I think to at least run your fridge and other electrical appliances. That is a benefit even though I own a Toyota hybrid which to me is better than an ev.

WSJ did an investigative report on "battery breakthroughs" where they found thousands and thousands of media search results. The WSJ looked into the reports and found there was no follow-up as usual. The reality the WSJ found was that there were no practical/commercially viable"battery breakthroughs", and at best just small incremental improvements. The headlined so-called "breakthroughs" reported were all unrealistic/pie in the sky. "Solid state" batteries included. Fact is that Edison stated in 1910 that EVs would soon replace ICE vehicles and back then he was more correct than today. Energy density is the supreme advantage of petroleum and batteries are merely inferior gas tanks, like a gas tank they do not create energy, they store it and are vastly inferior at doing so. Even MUSK stated that EVs were a NICHE, @6% of the market and that's an admission against interest so it's most likely to be true.

Enjoyed the talk. I would love to hear a deep dive into the fleet model and a Tesla RoboTaxi. In a fantasy world, what would a Taxi Automated taxi service need to charge, fill rate, long term cost.... How could someone start their own fleet of taxis?

for 300 $ I installed a 3.7kw portable charger to a special 220v outlet (resistant plastic) with a dedcated 16A breaker and a differential magnetothermal breaker (to preevnt overheating). on roadtrips only drive the tesla cause it is chaos out there...

I was hoping to hear more about fleet numbers. Love to hear more real world data.

BYD has had 10, near new showrooms burn down. The world laughs.

Fleet expert, you mean the CEO of It HERTZ when I drive. Bankrupted Hertz, well done EV expert! lol

I use level 1 charging only and it works for me, 20A outlet, so I got a Lvl 1 charger where I can choose the amperage, and I charge with 16A overnight with no issue. You have to check your breaker box to confirm you have a 20A outlet not just a standard 15A (otherwise I would need to reduce the amperage to 12A).

You guys are talking round, and round, about the same thing, you are focused on defining the unexpected repair, AFTER Discovery. Why don't you define the unexpected repair BEFORE Discovery. Define everything that you would normally expect to find and repair during a normal PM, oil, belts, fuel and air filters, etc., and any repair outside of the defined list becomes an "unscheduled repair, FOUND During PM". This eliminates any doubt on the part of the mechanic and it creates a new metric that can show how effective the PM program is at catching and preventing "Breakdowns" or "Road Repairs". Obviously, the whole idea of a PM program is to prevent Breakdowns and Road Repairs. Additionally, as you find repairs during PMs that might be categorized as PM instead of unscheduled repair, those items can be redefined as PM repairs based on experiential learning.

Just drove my Tesla M3 from Vancouver B.C. to Santa Fe NM and back on a 3 week road trip. As long as you program your destination, the route planner will figure out charging, and I spent 1/4 of what my previous ICE car would've cost for gas. It really was easy.

The fact that PEV only make up about 1% of US cars on the road after more than 10 years of sales makes it clear most people just don't what them in the US. The charging network is great in some places and totaly inadequate in others . My daughter had a Model S for 18 months before trading it in due to have multiple problems with it.

Just get something that can use Tesla’s Supercharger network. You don’t have to plan trips at All

Who charges (before that out of town trip) while they are awake? I sure don't.

If you have range anxiety with your EV, but don't bother getting a garage charger or plug into it before starting a long trip you deserve the anxiety. Do you start your trips with maxed out credit cards and no cash? Perhaps you should get a PlugShare trip planning app on your phone.

If you have a house in AZ, I would think solar is almost a no-brainer.

PHEV not great for fleets. If the driver can get reimbursed for gas, they’re probably not going to charge the vehicle.

Having a 2005 Dodge Magnum r/t my gas gauge trembles in fear. My conundrum right now is Tesla M3 P or a Cyber Truck (when available).

Consider installing your charger in a way that the car/truck is parked outside. Check out china, lots of EV's burning while charging, or even just standing (unlike ICE). So, if it decides to start smoking, would be better if it did not take your hose or garage along with it.

One thing not mentioned a lot, many household have two or more cars. Most travel is local. So buy one of each EV and ICE. Prioritize one for local travel and if you are in a hurry use ICE for fast road trips. Use EV if you are not in a hurry for road trips.

Once again, a frustrated EV buyer learns the hard way his new expensive toy is a nightmare because of crappy 3rd party charging. 2 words: supercharger network. ONLY Tesla has a national charging network and they built it BEFORE selling mass numbers of cars. That’s the critical difference between a Tesla and all other EVs. Over 200k miles on our 2 Teslas in 5 years and never had any of the issues this guy and his wife describe. EVs are useless without a robust, convenient, and reliable charging infrastructure. Tesla knew this and planned for it. Americans are never going to stop our dependence on oil and ICE vehicles. EVs don’t make sense for most drivers- and most don’t want to switch anyways. That’s fine. So at best, EVs are a viable option for maybe 20% of the total market. That’s about 2-2.5 million vehicles annually. Alot of cars but not enough to support 20-30 different companies offering 40-50 vehicles. It’s over saturated. EVs are a niche market. All these OEMs focused on the CAR rather than first invest in the infrastructure… that’s why frustrated customers are fed up. Unfortunately Tesla gets lumped in with these other “EVs” and is suffering collateral damage because of it. (Tesla isn’t doing itself any favors with ongoing quality issues and the awful Cybertruck) Will see how it sorts out but the other OEMs will soon abandon their ridiculous EV ventures, go back to focusing on ICE vehicles, and leave the niche EV market to Tesla who is committed to the infrastructure and advancing vehicle design- if they survive the Cybertruck boondoggle, that is...

As long as you have access to Lvl 2 charging at work or home, EV work for 99% of use cases. Road trips need a little work but it’s not range anxiety these days but more “public infrastructure/EVSE anxiety”! At work I found a spare NEMA 14-50 plug and since they are on solar we plug in lvl 2 for free. EV is sitting most of work day anyways since I drive work truck if needed. Also have solar at home so it works out. Yes I’m a unicorn to get solar at home and work but have had EVs since 2015 and have made it work with just lvl 2 and/or lvl1 in past without solar. Current rig is F150 lighting as daily commuter and for roadtrips/camping. So far it’s the best truck I’ve ever driven. Like that it’s “stealth” that drivers don’t really know it’s EV until we open the frunk😂! Towing is a breeze (torque/HP and all the tech) but range is impacted (we have a 4K lbs pop up so not too bad but can see it not being viable for anything with poor aerodynamics or over 5k lbs aka most lol) but with more EV trucks coming online hopefully towing becomes a viable option for more. But for local jobs where you can charge onsite or back at yard I think it can work with a few lvl 2 chargers at the yard. I’ve worked at jobs with fleet EVs but mainly for inspections/ job site meetings but hoping more work trucks come online. Long time EV owner and worked in PW for long time and hoping to transition to management and have 0 fleet exp(work in utilities). So glad I found your channel!

EV charging today is about at the level that gas stations were back in the days when there was a big glass bowl on top of the pump so you could see you were getting just gas not water or dirt. You maybe had to drive a couple of towns over to find a station and it only had 2 pumps and there was no price competition and you might get there and they hadnt got their delivery that month yet and were out of gas.

Um….for the EV9 or any Hyundai/KIA E-GMP vehicles, the Tesla Supercharger IS the slow charger. All E-GMP vehicles operate on an 800V platform but all current Tesla superchargers max at 500(ish) volts so using a Tesla supercharger with magic doc requires the vehicle to use the built in voltage booster and this dramatically slows charging. Should be using an EA or equivalent DCFC that supports 800V with 350 kW charging, as long as they are working and not broken.

Use the nav system - tell the car where you're going and it adds the chargers from preferred networks to the route.

You both were awesome at the conference. Learned a whole lot. Thank you for asking all of my questions!!!!

Over thinking it. Manager fleet using good app (EEVE ?) for reimbursement. Those driving long range very often get a long range EV…you win time on home charging every day and lose a bit on very, very long trips, and even then can do email, make calls etc on probably mandated rests / stops anyway so not a big deal.
