Vehicles were designed for an old era of transportation. The modern fleet demands a redesign.
In this episode of The Fleet, Will Graylin, Founder & CEO of IndiGO Technologies, explores how today’s fleet needs have outgrown traditional vehicle assumptions, and why electrification works best when vehicles, charging, and deployment are designed together as a system. From last-mile delivery and charging access to community-level operations, this conversation reframes EV adoption as an opportunity to rethink how fleets are built and deployed for today’s realities.
