Cut Costs with Every Mile

Electric fleets can significantly reduce operational expenses:

  • Electricity is cheaper than fuel, especially with off-peak charging
  • EVs have fewer moving parts, meaning less maintenance and downtime
  • Benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax rates for EVs are much lower than for ICE vehicles

Charging Infrastructure: Scalable and Smart

Fleet electrification requires a tailored charging strategy. Options include:

  • On-site depot charging with smart energy management

  • Home charging solutions for remote or hybrid workers

  • Public charging access for mobile teams

Data-Driven Fleet Management

Modern electric cars and electric vans come equipped with advanced telematics, giving fleet managers real-time insights into:

  • Vehicle location and usage

  • Charging status and energy consumption

  • Driver behaviour and route optimisation

Battery Life and Sustainability

Electric batteries are built to last, with most offering 8–10 year warranties. At the end-of-life, batteries can be:

  • Repurposed for energy storage

  • Recycled to recover valuable materials

  • Refurbished for secondary use
