How it works

From first call to fleet in service

A clear, step-by-step path. We coordinate the moving parts — you make the decisions.

Follow the money

How your fleet generates income

Your LLC owns the vehicles. ZEVO rents them to rideshare drivers and pays fleet expenses. RAEV Rentals pays your LLC a flat monthly fee — and your bank drafts your loan payment from your LLC account.

Money and vehicle flow: your LLC buys EVs with bank financing; ZEVO rents them to rideshare drivers; RAEV Rentals pays your LLC a flat monthly fee; your bank drafts the loan payment.

Step by step

Your path to ownership

1

Discovery & tax strategy session

We learn your goals and tax picture, then model a fleet size and projected first-year deduction. Bring your CPA — we welcome it.

2

Form your LLC & open accounts

Set up your vehicle-rental LLC and open a business account with an approved bank. Your fleet, loans and income live in your LLC.

3

Sign & close

Sign the RAEV FleetPro™ Participation Agreement and your loan documents. Pay your 10% down payment and the 3% platform fee at closing; the 1% origination fee is added to your loan.

4

Vehicles purchased & titled to your LLC

Vehicles are sourced through the platform. Each one comes with an invoice and VIN for you and your lender.

5

Placed in service

Your vehicles go live on the ZEVO platform — rented to rideshare drivers, charged, cleaned, maintained and GPS-tracked.

6

Monthly payments & reporting

RAEV pays your LLC a flat monthly fee equal to your loan payment plus the 18% target return on your down payment (10% of price). Your bank drafts the loan payment. You receive regular fleet reporting.

7

Tax season

Your CPA files using the purchase and placed-in-service documentation we provide, including any bonus depreciation you qualify for.

8

Targeted buyback at month 48

We target buying back your fleet after payment 48: RAEV pays off your loan and refunds you 10% of the payoff toward rollover vehicles. Or add a new tranche and keep growing.
