Electromobility success depends on energy and infrastructure planning

Successful fleet electrification requires a focus on energy availability and infrastructure rather than just vehicle procurement. Experts from E.ON Polska and DHL Express Polska emphasize that building a foundation of power capacity and scalable charging infrastructure is essential for long-term success.

Kamil Szostak of E.ON Polska notes that while purchasing electric vehicles is one of the simpler aspects of a project, the greater challenge lies in designing infrastructure that allows for easy expansion as fleets grow. Companies should analyze the specific energy needs and power availability of each location to avoid high future modernization costs.

Rafał Wietrak of DHL Express Polska shared the company's experience in implementing electromobility early on. DHL's approach involved developing both the electric vehicle fleet and the necessary energy background simultaneously to ensure operational resilience and service quality.
