Alphabet’s electric fleet explained

This is a vehicle that runs on battery power alone, through an electric motor. This means there is no internal combustion engine or fuel tank. Instead, you charge the battery using a plug-in point, which can be as simple as a standard 120-volt outlet (commonly found in homes) or a fitted home charger, specifically designed to charge your vehicle.

Being fully electric, BEVs produce zero emissions. So, they’re perfect for meeting fast-approaching sustainability targets and deadlines. BEVs also tend to have bigger batteries than other vehicles.

This is a vehicle with both a combustion engine and an electric motor, that can be charged via a public or private charger. They usually have smaller electric range than a BEV, but are a great stepping-stone option for businesses that aren’t ready to go fully electric.

These are vehicles that traditionally run on petrol or diesel. We understand different businesses have different needs, so if you’re not yet in a position to transition your whole fleet to electric, we still include a great range of ICEs in our portfolio.

At Alphabet, we have almost 10 years of expertise in supplying fleets with electric vehicles and a wide portfolio of options on offer. We’re committed to making the change – so much so that we’ve installed 184 charge points at our headquarters in Farnborough. So, if you’re thinking about making the switch, our experts are ready to advise you on your eMobility strategy with helpful consultation services. Whether you're at the beginning of your electric journey or already in the process of moving, we’re here to help.
