SMALL businesses are being offered an opportunity to experience electric vehicles (EVs) with an autumn offer being provided by mobility and rental company Europcar Mobility Group UK.
The offer – 20% off electric vehicle rental this autumn – is open to any small business that opens a new Europcar online business account. Vehicles available on the Europcar fleet include the ORA Funky Cat, MG4, Mercedes-Benz EQ range and Tesla Model 3.
The expansion of the London ULEZ as well as the launch of many other low and zero emissions zones in cities across the UK is helping with the switch to electric vehicles.
However, the cost and availability of new electric vehicles is a barrier for some organisations; there’s also continued uncertainty about charging infrastructure and impact on productivity.
Now is the time to give colleagues a real-world electric vehicle experience without a business having to make a long-term financial commitment. Providing access to the newest, most environmentally friendly vehicles as and when required, Europcar EV rental allows businesses to try-before-they-buy. Our customers have found that EVs fit into their business much more easily than they expected, reduce mobility costs and provide a valuable boost in meeting emissions targets.
