Last Mile Electrification
Best for predictable, return-to-base routes with consistent daily mileage.
Electrification only works if the numbers hold up. When trucks, charging, and incentives are planned together, electric fleets can lower cost per mile, total cost of ownership, and make expenses more predictable.
Tesla Semi vs Freightliner Cascadia, including HVIP voucher and residual value.
Baseline: 13,000 mi/mo per truck.
Small: <20 trucks · ≤$15M revenue. Determines HVIP voucher size.
Lifts total savings linearly.
Estimated 5-Year Savings
$0.47 less per mile; $22,264/month in lower operating costs.
5-year savings reflect CA HVIP voucher applied at point of sale; operating costs scale linearly with monthly mileage. Small fleet = fewer than 20 trucks
Estimated 5-Year Fuel Savings
$0.50 less per mile in fuel; $8,333/month in lower fuel costs.
Estimate based on a $0.50/mi fuel cost differential and depot charging. Actual savings vary by state, utility rates, and route profile.
Electric fleets shift cost away from diesel and gas to more efficient, predictable areas.
Electricity costs less and is more stable than diesel and gas.
Fewer moving parts means fewer repairs and less downtime.
Federal, state, and utility programs can significantly reduce upfront and ongoing costs.
Right-sized vehicles and optimized routes improve efficiency over time.
Available programs vary by location, but many fleets qualify for meaningful support that lowers the cost to get started.

Incentive amounts, eligibility, and program availability vary by state and are subject to change. Gateway structures current incentives into every deployment.
Gateway brings together vehicles, charging, energy, and incentives into one model, so costs are clear from the start and stay predictable over time.
Vehicle lease + Charging-as-a-Service bundled into one payment
Energy rates locked in, protected from demand charge volatility
Incentives applied upfront — not a reimbursement you chase
Maintenance modeled at EV rates (~50% lower than diesel)
Savings vary based on routes, mileage, and how vehicles operate day to day.
Best for predictable, return-to-base routes with consistent daily mileage.
Routes with extended range, coordinated charging, and consistent cost per mile requirements.
