The UK government has brought forward a plan to ban the sale of all new Petrol and Diesel cars from 2030. This new target to migrate to a more climate-friendly county and make the UK second only to Norway, which will implement a ban in 2025.
The impact is seismic. As of 2020 new petrol and diesel cars account for 73% of new car sales. With larger fleets, this would only just mean two replacement cycles to make the change to EV and PHEV’s (Plug-in Hybrid) which have a little more life until 2035.
It’s a tall order, but with the accelerated growth, development and production of EV’s both cars and light commercial from manufacturing, there will be greater choice and variety of options to fleet management companies and businesses.
Working with Electric Vehicles will be new to many. The overall cost of ownership is one aspect, but with the limited range and charging points at present, understanding the type of batteries and their kWh (kilowatt-hours), which is a measure of energy used in 1 hour of running, is another.
Do you know the current performance and usage of the current vehicle? driving habits and how to make the best use of technology to allow them to move successfully to eliminate extra costs but could also reduce costs and driver welfare/safety.
Understanding charge rates – Slow (standard), Fast or Rapid which most modern Ev’s can charge from Zero to 80% in under an hour will have a bearing on the vehicle for the job required. There are also different connectors with most using the standard type 2.
So, how informed must you be to ensure you are making the right choice for your fleet needs.
