The electrification of the automotive industry is now inevitable. But there are still benefits for fleets that make the change sooner rather than later…
Considerable Savings
Electric vehicles have considerable financial benefits over their ICE equivalents. For a start, they dispense entirely with the need for petrol or diesel; negating a major source of expenditure for fleets. Of course, electricity isn’t free. But charging is indisputably cheaper than refueling. In addition, EVs possess significantly fewer moving parts than other vehicles. As a result, they face less wear and tear and therefore cheaper servicing and maintenance.
Going Green
From an environmental perspective, EVs have a wide range of benefits. Whilst they’re not perfect, by any means, they’re much better for air-quality; especially in urban areas. If the electricity they run on stems from renewables, their carbon footprint is also considerably smaller than petrols, diesels and hybrids. In essence, then, they can reduce your fleet’s carbon footprint. Notably, one survey revealed that 83% of workers are more loyal to a business meeting its environmental obligations. Similar studies have also revealed that consumers have more favourable views of electric fleet or corporate vehicles.
Attracting Top Talent
Slowly but surely, EVs have entered the automotive mainstream. Myths have been squashed and misconceptions corrected. Many drivers now see them for what they are, technologically advanced vehicles than offer a comfortable driving experience. As a result, they can be a fantastic recruiting tool as an employee benefit. A fleet that offers EVs as company cars will have a significant advantage in attracting top talent over those that don’t.
