The Future of Electric Vehicles Is a Part of Your Future Too
Your fleet could look very different in the future. As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common, you will soon have to decide between conventional and electric vehicles. Now is the time to get up to speed on EVs.
Electric vehicles are already here. You see them in almost every community. Their adoption has grown rapidly over the past decade, and it’s only speeding up. It is predicted that by 2030:
- 29.5% of all new car sales will be electric (up from ~3.4% in 2021)
- $4.7 million in sales annually (up from just over $500,000 in 2021)
Are you ready for the electrification revolution? And are you excited to be a part of it? NFPA® wants to help you say “yes” to both of these questions. That’s why we’ve created customized online learning all about electric vehicles and the impact they may have on you, your business, and your community.
