1. Assess Your Route Fit: Not every EV is right for every route. That is why we start with your actual stops, mileage, and load profiles. Gateway reviews your daily operations and recommends vehicles that can comfortably handle your range, payload, and dwell time.
2. Understand Your Payment Options: We structure leases to match your needs, whether you want shorter commitments, lower monthly payments, or the flexibility to scale up. Gateway assumes all available incentives like HVIP to keep your bundled cost low. You focus on choosing the plan that aligns with your cash flow and fleet goals.
3. Plan for Charging: You do not need to build your own charging infrastructure to get started. Gateway offers access to high-speed charging in select delivery regions and is expanding as demand grows. We work with you to align charging availability with your route schedule so your operations stay efficient and on track.
4. Schedule a Real-Route Demo: Seeing is believing. We offer short-term demos so you can test EVs on your actual routes. You will get data on efficiency, uptime, and charging behavior to inform your next move.
5. Prepare Your Drivers: Driver hesitation is common but usually short-lived. Our onboarding tools make it easy to get started. From first-day walkthroughs to simple charging instructions, we help your team feel confident from day one.
6. Start Small, Then Scale: You do not need to commit your entire fleet upfront. Start with one or two vehicles, prove the economics, and expand on your timeline. Gateway stays involved throughout the process to keep things moving.
Bottom Line: If EVs make sense for your routes, Gateway will make sure everything else falls into place. From vehicle selection to charging access to a payment plan that works for your business, the first step is a quick route review or demo drive.
