Societal pressures on businesses have never been more dynamic. The events of the past few years have changed the way we live, work and travel, and sustainability – both environmental and social – is a mainstream concern. Consumers and employees are paying ever-closer attention to the organisations they buy from and work for, and it’s important to stay ahead of the curve.
Fleet electrification is an important component of a more sustainable operation. Road transport accounts for 20% of CO2 emissions, and introducing electric vehicles is an important step towards changing company culture, as well as reducing environmental impact. Your answers suggest this process of futureproofing is already underway, and sustainability is driving fundamental change within your organisation.
Ayvens is leading by example; our global fleet of 1.6m funded vehicles is on a roadmap to net zero tailpipe emissions by 2030, and we’re helping our employees adopt electric vehicles where possible. High standards for societal wellbeing and environmental performance are fundamental to our company culture, and expected of suppliers, too. It’s first-hand experience we can employ to help your business keep ahead of whatever comes next.

Fleet electrification is an important first step towards futureproofing your business and making sustainability part of the company culture. Although this can sound daunting, Ayvens has a wealth of information available to help steer you through the first stages of your transition on our Drive Electric Hub including:
Plugging in at home is the most convenient way to charge an electric vehicle. Our guide includes the available funding, eligibility and the most commonly asked questions from drivers.
Grant funding is also available to support extensive workplace charging infrastructure, encouraging drivers to switch to electric vehicles and supporting fleet electrification.
The UK has thousands of charging points strategically located alongside major routes and destinations nationwide, and access is becoming increasingly straightforward.
An effective reimbursement policy for electric vehicles can make a significant difference to your business’s bottom line.

Although electric vehicle technology is advancing quickly, there are still lifestyle changes involved in making the switch. Your responses suggest you’re getting a clear idea of which drivers are suitable, and where those challenges might lie. However, for effective deployment, it’s also worth considering the following:
Just like petrol or diesel vehicles, published efficiency data doesn’t necessarily reflect real-world results. Electric vehicles reward smooth driving, and the range and charging speeds can drop off significantly in cold weather. Familiarisation with features such as regenerative braking and cabin pre-conditioning is important, and access to convenient charging at home and/or work will also help drivers get the most out of their vehicles.
Demand for electric vehicles is growing organically, but effective communication can help increase uptake. The results of the recent Department for Transport behavioural study suggest drivers are conscious of the need to switch to electric. Highlighting positive experiences can be an important component of encouraging change.
Plug-in hybrids can be a useful stepping stone for drivers, familiarising them with their daily mileage and charging routine. However, real-world efficiency relies on a large share of driving being carried out on battery power. This makes them sensitive to correct deployment and usage, and unsuitable for drivers who do not have access to a chargepoint at home or work. Our guide to plug-in hybrids includes tips for getting the most out of these vehicles and is available on our Drive Electric Hub.
Electric vehicle technology is advancing quickly, but there are still lifestyle changes involved in making the switch. Your responses show you’re heading in the right direction and getting a sense of where those challenges might be, and how to solve them. Here are some ideas for the next steps.
Demand for electric vehicles is growing with 2-3% of all vehicles on the roads now electric or hybrid. However, an effective communication programme can help encourage further uptake.
The results of a recent study for the Department for Transport assessing influences on electric vehicle uptake suggests drivers are keen to stay ahead of the 2030 ban on non-hybrids and influenced by current market trends towards electrification. Highlighting real-world experience from other drivers can also create demand.
Despite advances in electric vehicle range and performance, getting the most of the technology requires some behavioural changes. This could include specific driver training, but it will be worth familiarising users with features such as cabin pre-conditioning and the benefits of smooth driving to help extend the range.
Organisations looking to familiarise themselves with plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles can also take advantage of Ayvens Flexible. This provides rental periods between 84 days and two years, so vehicles can be assessed as part of your fleet and changed to suit shifting requirements.

Electric vehicle technology is advancing quicky, with an ever-increasing choice of variants, longer ranges and faster charging times. Driver perception is improving too; two thirds of those surveyed for Ayvens’s Mobility Insights Report said they felt positive about going electric, and almost half (44%) said their opinion had become more favourable during the last three years.
Assessing where these vehicles might fit your organisation and employees is an important step towards identifying opportunities for electrification. Our driver suitability tools can help get this process moving, providing an assessment within minutes. These are available below on our Drive Electric section of our website.
Access to charging was cited as a barrier to going electric by 40% of drivers surveyed in Ayvens’s Mobility Insights Report. However, the results of the Department for Transport’s recent driver behavioural study suggests this is largely about perception; a lack of visibility rather than an actual shortage of charging points.
Our Electric Vehicle Insights Hub addresses common concerns in the following guides.

The business case for electric vehicles is improving all the time, and the UK already offers a comprehensive package of support for organisations to convert their fleet. In the latest Ayvens EV Readiness Index, which assesses factors including order take, charging infrastructure, incentives and running costs, only Norway and the Netherlands ranked higher in Europe.
Your answers suggest you are already familiar with the potential whole-life cost benefits, and how this can offset a higher screen price for the right users. However, incentives and tax regimes can change - which is why we detail these in our Comprehensive Guide to Funding and Taxation available on our website.
Our Drive Electric Hub also includes a detailed guide and tool for calculating electricity costs per mile. This can vary significantly depending on the vehicle and how it is charged.
There are also opportunities for organisations adopting electric vehicles to earn money back from investments in infrastructure. These include:
Businesses in the retail and leisure industry can make charging points available to visitors, increasing the time they spend on site and potentially creating a revenue stream.
Organisations investing in local generation (such as solar or wind) or energy storage can significantly reduce fleet running costs by charging when it’s cheapest and supplying power back to the grid during peak demand periods. Centrica provides solutions which can automatically manage supply and demand, details of which are available here.
The business case for going electric is improving all the time, and your responses suggest you’ve really started looking for opportunities to do so. Our team of Fleet Consultants can help model your fleet requirements and highlight where electrification will make a real impact on your bottom line. We also have a wealth of resources available online available for you to use.
The UK ranked third in Europe in the latest Ayvens EV Readiness, which assesses demand, infrastructure and support for electric vehicles, and new models can meet a much broader range of fleet needs. However, incentives can change overnight.
Ayvens’s Fleet Funding and Tax Guide provides a full list of current incentives, and is available to download on our website.
Electric vehicles are also cheaper to run, with reduced service and maintenance costs and significant reductions in fuel expenditure – typically the second largest financial burden for fleets. Our Drive Electric hub also includes a detailed guide to calculating electricity costs per mile, and this can vary significantly.
With growing awareness of air quality and climate change, establishing a salary sacrifice scheme can also provide an affordable way for drivers to move into electric vehicles. You can find out more about Salary Sacrifice on our website.

The price of electric vehicles has declined significantly over the last decade, driven by economies of scale and improving technology. This means manufacturers can offer more range for a lower cost, and further reductions are projected for the coming years.
However, as vehicles are usually more expensive to acquire than petrol or diesel models, the full benefits show up in whole life cost analysis. Despite reductions in Government support there are incentives and grant funding for electric vehicles and charging equipment available. In addition ‘fuel’ costs be lower than a petrol or diesel model and with less moving parts maintenance can be cheaper too. Electric vehicles are also energy agnostic; so organisations generating their own electricity from renewables can make further savings.
Ayvens’s team of expert Fleet Consultants can help. We provide a detailed fleet analysis which will model total cost of ownership and highlight where different vehicle types would offer an advantage. A full list of the latest incentives for fleets is outlined in our Comprehensive guide to Funding and Taxation.
