We know electric vehicles are better for the planet. But what companies rarely realise is that switching to an EV fleet is super practical and can save them a lot of money, too.
One of the main drawbacks of an electric vehicle is the lack of charge points when you’re out and about, and even when you do find one, using public chargers can cost over 5 times more than using your own private charging point.
Electric vehicles are a great option to reduce both your road tax and your carbon footprint.
Businesses are finding that electric vehicles are becoming the most efficient choice for company fleets. Their running costs are much cheaper than petrol or diesel vehicles, and with no internal combustion engine, maintenance and repair costs are significantly reduced.
Electric vehicles are excellent for city driving. With clean air zones being implemented in cities around the UK, heavily polluting vehicles pay charges for entering these protected zones. Ultra-low emission vehicles, such as fully electric vehicles, are exempt from these charges. While electric vehicles are ideal for shorter journeys, advancements in technology mean that electric vehicles can now travel up to 300 miles between charges.
For businesses making the switch, onsite charging points will further reduce your running costs and provide a more convenient location to recharge throughout the day or overnight.
