FLEET Alliance, a fleet management and leasing broker, has introduced a new solution to help SME fleets gauge whether they are ready to make the transition to electric vehicles.
The new EV readiness tool – from digital journey specialists Diode – allows SME businesses to assess how ready they are to go down an electrification route.
The Glasgow based fleet management company – which was recently voted Best SME Broker of the Year 2023 – is providing businesses and their employees with free access to the tool.
For businesses, the tool highlights how much charging infrastructure is required to support the transition to EVs, when and where to install it, what power is required and an estimate of how much it will cost.
It also outlines employee suitability and interest in EVs and assesses the potential vehicle running costs and CO2 savings across the business.
From an employee’s perspective, the tool allows them to complete an EV suitability assessment which leads to a personalised driver readiness report. This shows the ways an EV could work for them, detailing the convenience of charging and running-cost savings.
The suitability assessment also includes a detailed breakdown of charging costs and frequency for every EV on the market, and allows drivers to view pricing and select a new vehicle.
Fleet Alliance says it is fully committed to supporting customers to achieve their sustainability objectives. The provision of the Diode EV suitability tool is the latest in a line of initiatives the company has taken to help its customers meet their Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) agendas.
This new tool cuts through the fog of uncertainty that often surrounds the decision to transition to EVs. And by providing clarity, it helps make the decision-making process easier – for both businesses and their employees.
Fleet Alliance says it’s firmly committed to transitioning to EVs at the earliest opportunity, as exemplified by its membership of the EV100 movement, and has clear plans to electrify its 30,000-strong managed fleet by 2030. Fleet Alliance’s own corporate fleet went fully electric in mid-2021.
