The future of driving is electrical
The transportation industry produces the most carbon emissions and therefore has the greatest impact on climate change. Transportation is the next major environmental challenge as we try to make strides in decarbonising the energy supply. By switching to electric fleet cars, offering at work charging for workers, or converting parking lots into EV-friendly spaces, your business may make a significant contribution to reducing the threat of climate change.
However, the list of advantages for companies extends beyond making a favorable environmental impact: here are five of the most significant reasons why your business should embrace and adopt electric cars.
- Reduce cost and boost productivity
Your business will reduce the overall cost of ownership of fleets, transit network, and public transportation fleets by switching to electric vehicles. By reducing fuel costs and taking advantage of government incentives and tax benefits, you will recognise significant savings. Electric vehicles(EV) are generally more durable than internal combustion engine(ICE) cars, having fewer mechanical components vulnerable to failure and also providing more data to allow more effective maintenance. Additionally implementing ‘at work’ charging, where charging happens while employees are at work, can improve productivity. The drivers always can start the day fully charged and enhance the savings across your whole organisation.
2. Enhance your environmental credentials
It is important to reduce the carbon footprint in order to become a more sustainable enterprise. Offering electric vehicle charging infrastructure and transitioning fleets to EVs provide businesses and public bodies with a credible role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and inspiring wider EV adoption across society.
3. Generate new sources of value
Electric vehicles charging points need to be viewed as a cost to your business, but a potential source of value in several ways. Directly, businesses that install on-site generation and storage infrastructure to support EV charging can generate revenue through energy optimisation strategies, while also taking advantage of supply-side incentives.
4. Increase employee satisfaction and retention
Employees benefit from improved health and welfare as a result of improved urban air quality and reduced exposure to toxic NO1 and other toxins. Installing EV infrastructure, such as smart charging, will boost driver trust by providing easy access to on-site charging stations, facilitating EV adoption not only for fleets but also for individuals.
5. Increase your organisations’ reputation
Regulations are constantly changing but transitioning to electric vehicles eliminates the likelihood of your company failing to comply with extremely strict federal regulations, preserving your company’s image.
How EVRecommend solution can help your company?
VivaDrive have developed an integrated package to support your fleet operators in reviewing specific cars, to see how your driving demand could be fulfilled by an electric car (EV). The project aims to support the development of fleet electrification plans, charging infrastructure and estimates the cost of infrastructure installation.
