Drive To Zero Consultancy

Your personalised impartial EV transition plan

PLANNING. SOLUTION. DELIVERY

Successfully implementing EVs across your commercial fleet is a much more intensive proposition than that of renewing to an ICE vehicle. It covers many facets beyond the vehicle itself and its ability to do the tasks that you need it to do effectively.

Understanding where and how vehicles are going to be charged, how this fits in with your daily operations, and what infrastructure you will need to support this, are all key concerns. But perhaps overlooked aspects such as gauging your driver’s attitudes and potential concerns with driving an EV, how they are going to be reimbursed, along with the how your fleet of EVs are going to be serviced and maintained are all equally as important.

This is all before you even determine how much it is going to cost your business to transition which can vary greatly on how and where you are able to charge your vehicles.

With Drive to Zero Consultancy, you get access to an expert EV consultant who will analyse all aspects of your fleet operation and provide a complete bespoke report with recommendations on how EVs can be integrated into your fleet operation, allowing you to build a business case and strategy to move forward over the next 3 to 5 years.

Transitioning to electric vehicles across your commercial fleet is a much more intensive proposition that involves far more than replacing an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. It requires a deep understanding of how EVs will function within your daily operations and covers many facets beyond the vehicle itself and its suitability for your business requirements - covering everything from charging logistics to driver engagement.
