Leke Services recently participated in several prominent conferences focused on enhancing the electric mobility ecosystem. During this conference season, our team has attended Fleet Forward 2024, Benchmark Week 2024, CoMotion 2024, LATC (Los Angeles Transportation Club), Electric Trucking US 2024, and NAFA Southwest Regional, where we engaged with industry leaders, exchanged insights, and explored innovative solutions to shape the future of electric mobility.
We explore the revolutionary potential of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology in meeting the soaring demand for lithium. Driven by the global shift to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems, DLE promises a quicker and more sustainable path to lithium production.
For this edition, we will explore the transition to zero-emission fleets, motivated by climate concerns, policy mandates, and corporate commitments. This significant shift offers opposing dynamics for fleet managers. Check out our insights below.
Leke services was honored to have been part of the Sustainable Fleet Technology Expo’s webinar highlighting the best practices of NAFA's green fleet award winners. Here we share some of our top takeaways from the conversation.
In light of the heartbreaking events we have seen across the Southeastern region, we're focusing on the implications of electric vehicles in the context of climate disasters. If you or a loved one have been affected by Hurricanes Helene or Milton, please know our hearts are with you.
This week, we’re looking at the Southern metropolis of Charlotte, which is charging ahead with an ambitious plan to electrify its entire vehicle fleet. But Charlotte's journey isn't just about swapping gas pumps for charging stations; it's a comprehensive blueprint for urban transformation that's turning heads across the nation. From innovative policies to strategic partnerships, Charlotte is writing a new chapter in sustainable urban transportation.
Transitioning to an electric fleet can significantly reduce costs due to lower fuel and maintenance expenses. By 2025, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are expected to have a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Achieving emission reductions requires coordinated efforts in technology, infrastructure, and policy. Leke Services helps fleets by assessing key financial indicators like capital expenses (CAPEX), operational expenses (OPEX), and TCO across various fleet types and vehicle categories.
The partnership launches a proprietary offering that expedites financial analysis and operations for fleet owners ahead of the mobility energy transition.
The US needs 1,000 GW of battery production by 2030. RecyclePlenty, led by Dele, aims to support this by recycling spent batteries. Dele faces challenges with OEMs, testers, collectors, and miners. She is forming collaborative solutions and aligning with industry trends to ensure success.
More quickly than expected, powertrain electrification is creating both pressure and opportunities for the supplier network.
Leke Services can help you navigate this complex landscape. Read our full report below.
The curb is going through a transformation. Expect to see parking meters, shop fronts, EV chargers, outdoor dining, transit stations, and delivery robots all try to get along with each other. Drawing inspiration from the Curbivore newsletters, I've compiled some of my thoughts on the deliberate planning companies must do to shape the upcoming era of curbside mobility.
Like other disruptions, the transition to EVs is entering a critical period which could accelerate or stall the momentum. Charging infrastructure is on the critical path for widespread EVs adoption. Its future as a permanent curb fixture will require more than just deep pockets, but also some ingenuity and grit.
The climate crisis is forcing global powers to reduce their contributions to the degradation of our planet, but the challenge looks quite different in Nigeria with a transportation policy primarily focused on improving mobility access for people and goods. As global focus shifts from ICE to batteries, Nigeria needs to create bespoke solutions to ensure the survival of the local transport sector.
For the US to meet the emissions reduction targets set by the Paris Accords, over 2 million new charge points will be required for the 28 million EVs expected on US roads by 2030. Charge point operators (CPO's) are doing their best to meet this demand, but they need to dig deep to overcome the frictions that will continue to be a drag to more efficient operations if left unaddressed.
Recycling spent batteries is a critical piece of the mobility energy transition. The zero emissions future we are marching to in response to the climate crisis is only feasible with the inclusion of this key step, despite challenges. Even with the projected overcapacity for recycling batteries by 2030, keen stakeholders must be able to identify opportunities to create both environmental and financial value. The steps being taken today are critical to create this very necessary future.
