Electrifying your fleet
Where do you start with transitioning your fleet to EV?
Business as usual – only better
Before introducing EVs into your fleet or planning charge point installation, you’ll need to demonstrate to senior stakeholders how electrification can deliver benefits without disrupting business as usual.
Fleets for the future
Drax Electric Vehicles recommend starting with a full review of your current fleet usage. This will help you understand how an EV fleet would fare in the same conditions you’re working in today. Look at your vehicles’ mileage, load requirements, areas of operation and resting locations. Think about how your fleet helps your business achieve its goals and which metrics influence that success.
You can then use this data to work out Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
TCO calculation checklist
You can calculate your TCO using a combination of factors, including:
• The cost difference of ‘refuelling’ with electricity versus petrol or diesel
• Ongoing maintenance requirements
• Tax benefits
• Toll or congestion-charge exemptions.
Build a business case
Once you’ve gathered these insights, you can bring them together to build a business case.
As with most projects, a watertight business case is essential to bring senior stakeholders on board. It’s important to look beyond ROI and take a more holistic view of your business’ sustainability objectives. In this way you can demonstrate the long-term value of electrifying your fleet. This is where Drax can help.
