Passio Technologies recently announced the upcoming launch of an Electric Vehicle dashboard in the Passio Navigator platform, providing analytics and reporting tools for EV clients.

“We’re excited about empowering the shift to EVs, and these tools will help our customers not only make better decisions for their fleets but see the measurable impacts of their switch to electric,” said Passio Technologies President Mitch Skyer.

The growth of EVs is accelerating. The International Energy Agency predicts that 2030 will see 125 million electric cars on the road. Meanwhile, Bloomberg New Energy Finance predicts that nearly 60 percent of bus fleets will be electric in 2040. CALSTART reports that demand for e-buses is outstripping supply, with hundreds of backlogged orders.

Passio Technologies' EV-focused dashboard will automatically calculate metrics such as estimated savings in gas and maintenance (in dollars); reduction in carbon footprint (over gas buses, which emit three times as much CO2); reduction in noise pollution; the number of trees saved and more.

The data generated by the new tools not only lead to better transit decision-making but also the measurable proof of an agency’s reduced impact on the environment can be used in marketing initiatives to green-conscious riders, to encourage ridership.

“Passio is proud to be an agent of change towards electric transit. Solutions like ours will provide our customers with concrete evidence of money saved, carbon reduced and their commitment to a cleaner world,” said Passio Technologies CTO Scott Reiser.
