Your path to E-mobility

Step by step: from calculation to action

Our experts combine a deep understanding of your business and fleet, with driving data and operational requirements, to provide clear advice on whether or not your vehicles should be electric.

Working with you to define your business goals and reasons for switching to electric, we can help create a comprehensive strategy with measurable objectives, like lowering CO₂ emissions or optimising your costs.

Switching to electric may mean revising your car policy. Our eCar policy provides you with the framework to implement this smoothly, and includes advice on car selection and charging.

Electric vehicles can reduce your TCO. We consider all factors from acquisition to upkeep, regulations and incentives, so your fleet stays efficient and cost-effective.

Our expertise and extensive network will help you find the right balance of workplace, home and on-the-go charging to ensure your fleet gets where it needs to go, and that your business mileage reimbursement policy is robust, fair and compliant.

Implementation phase

Got questions? We’ve got answers

Full-battery electric vehicles (BEVs)
These vehicles are entirely powered by electricity, charged from an external source, and produce no tailpipe emissions.

 

Extended-range electric vehicle (E-REVs)
These EVs primarily use an electric motor for propulsion, but have a small internal combustion engine that acts as a generator to recharge the battery if needed.

 

Parallel hybrids (also known as 'mild' or 'full' hybrids)
The electric motor in these vehicles is mainly charged by the car's wheels when braking and provides power at low speeds, with a traditional engine taking over at higher speeds. These can be either 'Mild' (in which the internal combustion engine is always assisted by an electric motor) or 'Full' (which can drive on electric power for short distances before the internal combustion engine starts).

 

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)
PHEVs feature both a battery and an internal combustion engine. The battery can be charged for short range electric driving, while the engine takes over for longer distances.

With our extensive expertise in fleet management and deep understanding of electric vehicles, we are here to help you every step of the way. Here's how:

 

Consultation
Our expert consultants can work with you to assess the suitability of EVs for your fleet based on your specific requirements and constraints. Our comprehensive evaluation will consider everything from your fleet's operational needs, to the current state of charging infrastructure in your region, to the upfront and long-term costs of EV ownership.

 

EV selection and procurement
We can guide you through the process of selecting and procuring the right electric vehicles for your fleet. Our relationships with vehicle manufacturers can be instrumental in ensuring you get the vehicles you need, when you need them.

 

Charge point installation and management
To make your switch to electric as smooth as possible, our expert charging partner can assist with planning, installing, and managing charging at home and in the workplace.

 

Fleet transition planning
Transitioning to electric doesn't happen overnight. We can help you plan a staged integration of electric vehicles into your fleet, allowing you to gradually overcome the challenges, and maximise the benefits of EVs.

Environmental Benefits

Full electric vehicles are tailpipe emission-free, contributing significantly to the reduction of carbon emissions. However, it is important to point out that the manufacturing and charging of EVs might not be emission-free.  A greener fleet can enhance your corporate social responsibility profile and may even unlock access to green incentives offered by the government.

 

Cost Saving
Although the initial investment might be higher, the total cost of ownership for EVs can be lower in the long run. EVs are more energy-efficient than their internal combustion engine counterparts, which can save your fleet significant operational costs.

 

Simple Maintenance
Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, resulting in simpler maintenance needs. This can save your fleet both time and money on routine vehicle upkeep.

 

Government Incentives
The UK government provides tax breaks and other incentives for businesses that choose to go green with their fleets, making EVs a financially attractive option. Click here to find out more.

Although the initial investment might be higher, the total cost of ownership for EVs tends to be lower in the long run. EVs are more energy-efficient than their internal combustion engine counterparts, and they require less maintenance, which can save your fleet significant operational costs.

 

On a per-mile basis, electric vehicles cost just a fraction of what a petrol or diesel vehicle would cost to run. That’s because electricity is cheaper than fuel. What’s more, if you make use of your own generation from solar or wind or use a smart tariff with cheaper rates when demand is low, they can save you even more.
