Spring Free EV

Electric-Truck Maker Harbinger Raises $160 Million https://lnkd.in/gu6iX6gN Big news in the commercial EV segment: Harbinger Motors just secured a $160 million Series C round led by FedEx, marking a major step toward mass-adoption of medium-duty electrification. We look forward to seeing this momentum translate into real deployments. #FleetElectrification #CommercialEV #ElectricVehicles #FinancingInnovation #SustainableTransport #SpringFreeEV

Tesla can’t sell its cars anymore so it is renting them now https://lnkd.in/e5-Mhyca Tesla is shifting gears by launching a new short-term rental program out of its stores, offering vehicles for three to seven days and bundling perks like super-charging and supervised full self-driving access. With EV lease to own offerings on the rise, and the secondary market for EVs beginning to explode, it will be interesting to see how the new program will perform. #EVFleets #ElectricVehicles #Mobility #FleetManagement #CleanTransport #FutureOfWork #Innovation #EVFinance

EVgo Gets A Vote Of Confidence Despite Stock Dip https://lnkd.in/eEpxiX3x It’s encouraging to see how the EV charging ecosystem is maturing. A recent piece on Finimize highlights EVgo Inc.’s stock dip, yet analysts remain optimistic—pointing to positive EBITDA ahead and a meaningful shift in how infrastructure is being built. However, the takeaway isn’t about one company. It’s about where the market is headed. Demand for EV charging keeps rising as more fleets and drivers transition, and investors are rewarding disciplined growth and operational efficiency. #EVcharging #mobility #sustainableinfrastructure #futureoftransportation

LG Chem and Sinopec team up to make Soduim-Ion battery materials https://lnkd.in/ee9KtmCu Sodium-ion just went from future tech to commercial reality with the new partnerships to accelerate sodium-ion production. This is welcome news that helps lower the barriers in our focus to work with fleets in their transition to EVs. #EVInnovation #SodiumIon #BatteryTech #FleetFinancing #EVFleets #RideshareEVs #CleanTransport

EV charger and range anxiety is ‘stuck in people’s heads’ - It shouldn't be! https://lnkd.in/eMB45zhu Fast-charging along major U.S. corridors is finally catching up. Nearly 70% of the miles on the longest interstates now have chargers within 10 miles. That’s great progress but infrastructure success is about more than just corridor coverage. It’s also about financing affordable access where most of the miles actually happen: dense urban areas, depots, airports and rideshare hubs. #FleetElectrification #EVCharging #EVInfrastructure #RideshareEVs #ElectrifyFleets #LeaseToOwnEV

Electric Truck Charging Is Here, and Governments Want More https://lnkd.in/ee5sRrrh Bloomberg reports that U.S. agencies are pushing to speed up heavy-duty charging hubs, but the rollout remains inconsistent. There’s movement, yet permitting delays, grid constraints, and financing gaps are slowing real deployment. While Europe and China moved early, the U.S. is only now beginning to catch up and we’re happy to be part of that effort by helping fleets secure the financing they need to get trucks on the road. #EV #FleetElectrification #ChargingInfrastructure #ElectricTrucks

Big move from Uber: they’re offering drivers up to $4,000 to switch to EVs. https://lnkd.in/eFPgRtRz High-mileage drivers are a tipping point for EV adoption. When the total cost of ownership works in their favor, the transition accelerates and the EV rideshare transition has moved from “if” to “how fast.” #EVFleets #RideshareEVs #ElectricVehicles #FleetElectrification #FutureOfMobility #CleanTransportation

As traditional financing strains under high interest rates and longer loan terms, it’s time to rethink how drivers access vehicles. https://lnkd.in/eYQCRX95 Drive-to-own offers a smarter path—lower upfront costs, shared risk, and a clear path to ownership. For the growing secondary EV market, this model isn’t just practical, it’s essential. Spring Free EV is advancing financing that keeps drivers on the road and accelerates the shift to clean, affordable mobility.   #EV #LeaseToOwn #UsedCars #Fintech #SustainableMobility

Electric HGV trial passes half a million zero-emission miles https://lnkd.in/ewxEFKZY The latest UK trial just passed half a million zero-emission miles, proving that heavy-duty EVs can perform and compete on cost in real-world conditions. While challenges remain, from charging infrastructure to upfront costs and grid readiness, each mile logged brings us closer to scale. #ElectricTrucks #eHGV #FleetElectrification #TotalCostOfOwnership #SustainableTransport #RealWorldEV #LogisticsInnovation

Smart - EV owners are using their trucks’ giant batteries to prevent blackouts https://lnkd.in/dahG23JX The Washington Post reports, new advances in battery technology and bidirectional charging mean electric vehicles can soon help drivers and fleets save money by selling power back to the grid. Lower fuel and maintenance costs already make EVs cheaper to run — now they can become an income-generating asset. That’s a game-changer. The future of EVs isn’t just about mobility — it’s about smarter economics. #EV #FleetElectrification #TotalCostOfOwnership #CleanEnergy #SmartGrid #EnergySavings #ElectricVehicles #SustainableMobility
