Electric driving
Making the switch to electric driving
Whether you’re thinking about your first electric car or an entire electric fleet, making the switch can seem daunting. We want to help you with your electric vehicle journey, so we've brought together our expert EV support in one place.
Benefits of electric driving
As you may have heard, there’s a lot to like about EVs. They’re:
- Tax incentives and financial support are available for switching to a electric vehicle
- 'Fuel' costs are typically two to four times lower than the equivalent petrol or diesel vehicle, depending where they are charged
- Convenience of charging at home overnight, providing you with a full battery
- Alternatively, if you can, charge at work as there's no benefit-in-kid tax on topping up your battery
- More and more places to charge with an average of 1,650 charging points being added each month
- More clean air zones are being introduced around the country
- Save on maintenance with fewer moving parts
Electrifying your fleet
With the UK committed to reaching net zero by 2050, and an almost total ban on sales of new pure petrol and diesel vehicles coming into effect in 2030, switching to an electric fleet soon can help organisations stay ahead of curve, especially with a growing choice of vehicles and rapid improvements in charging infrastructure and vehicle performance.
Businesses across the UK are recognising further benefits of moving to electric vehicles. This includes the opportunity to lower their environmental footprint and reduce carbon emissions, plus a chance to give their employees a better driving experience.
EV tools
From knowing whether switching to an electric vehicle is right for you, to understanding how much an EV will cost to run, there is lots to understand before making the switch.
Our providers, Ayvens, have developed a range of handy tools to help you make the right decision on if electric is right for you or your business.
5 steps to vehicle electrification
When it comes to an electric fleet, acting now and getting ahead of the game could bring extra benefits. There are also a range of ways to simplify the transition, such as the five-step plan our Consultancy team have developed. They can help with the information, tools and support you need to help guide you forward.
1. Diagnose
We start by reviewing where you are. This includes benchmarking your fleet against your industry, assessing country and employee readiness, establishing emission and cost baselines, and defining achievable targets.
2. Model
We work with you to create total cost of ownership (TCO) and emission models and scenarios, which are based on your fleet strategy, composition and targets.
3. Select
We help you optimise fleet costs, select the right vehicles and OEM partners, and explore charging solutions at home and in the workplace. We can also support you with charging reimbursement options.
4. Engage
We help you bring internal stakeholders on board with the changes. For example, with salary sacrifice schemes, we will help you strengthen your business case and drive employee engagement by providing materials for employee training and internal meetings.
5. Implement
We support you through the final stage of the transition plan, such as updating mobility policies, monitoring employee satisfaction and introducing reporting capabilities to track progress against your sustainability goals.
