Ensure there’s a dedicated person responsible for the project and that they drive an EV - it pays off big time in driving success down the line
When it comes to managing a company fleet, nothing quite beats living the EV experience. The EV transition is a great step forward for any business. There are incentives for businesses, including low tax rates and salary sacrifice schemes. Transitioning to electric cars can boost a company's sustainability credentials and help attract and retain staff.
Paua Tip Three: Ensure there’s a dedicated person responsible for the project and that they drive an EV - it pays off big time in driving success down the line
To ensure optimal success of your EV Fleet, appoint an individual to take the lead - often this will be the Fleet Manager! When it comes to understanding what your company needs in making such a move, there is no better way than having one of these individuals experience driving and living with EVs themselves. First-hand knowledge can make all the difference when determining how best to proceed towards a greener and more sustainable future.
As the EV world is on the rise, many decision-makers overlook the differences between car brands. For example, while Tesla vehicles are praised for their longer battery range, relying solely on them for a fleet may not be the ideal choice or affordable. The unique SuperCharger infrastructure that comes with Teslas cannot accurately represent experiences from other popular EVs like Nissans eNV200. The decision makers must have some first-hand knowledge about what it means to drive these different models.
Businesses know best what their vehicle needs are. Whether that be cubic metres of volume or payload requirements. Paua customers have on occasion switched out their smaller vans for cars instead. This has enabled them to adopt EVs sooner. Similarly, some cars cross over to vans such as the Renault Zoe van that has enabled fleets to adopt EV faster. By considering the choice of vehicles could in fact increase the EV adoption rate. Many sources exist to understand the vehicles available. One of our favourites is EV Database which you can find here.
We are not here to guide you on vehicles; you know this best. But we feel some areas need to be understood regarding this new electric infrastructure and technology to make the best choices. Find out more in our free Fleet Manager Guide with 13 Insider Tips To Help You Transition To EVs HERE.
