Abstract

This is an era where environment has become one of the key concerns due to progressive deterioration caused by human activities that generate pollution. Hence it has become imperative for businesses to alter their strategies pertaining to operation and transport logistics and chose and implement more environment friendly options. Almost without exception, the logistics sector of any enterprise is the one with a significant carbon footprint, if not the largest. The growing gravity of the environmental damage has urged the enterprises to initiate a significant move towards choosing an alternative method of operation that is not only less polluting but is also a more sustainable option. This article evaluates the use of EV as a sustainable green alternative for last mile logistics and creates the scope for further research on possible alternatives.

Abstract

The transition to clean and green energy is inevitable just like the changes in global climate, the former being the consequence of the latter. Time is of essence here. The U.S. Government is also pushing the speedier adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) all across the country to handle the menace of emission. Urged by ambitious policies and propelled by generous investments in clean energy, California is leading the way to fleet electrification. The accelerated electrification of fleet in California, demands consolidation of electrical service guidelines, an important impediment to speedier transition. Replacement of fleet vehicles with similar vehicles that are significantly low on emission mark an important milestone for meeting the stringent emission targets set by the state. Though local in implementation, this program has global ramifications due to its capacity to aid other regions transition to vehicle electrification to meet such worldwide emission targets, as commitments made under the Paris Climate Agreement. This article identifies the obstacles to fleet electrification and recommends ways to consolidate electrical service guideline that can expedite the fleet electrification in California, a state that is a leader in green logistics, and hence promote green supply chain.
