A new whitepaper containing fleet electrification advice has been published by fuel payment company Allstar.
It says ‘How to Manage Electric Vehicles in a Company Car Fleet’ is intended to meet an increasing demand for advice on the topic.
According to Allstar, businesses should evaluate their current fleet usage, operational costs, and potential savings through EV adoption, identifying suitable vehicle types and drivers.
The company also says employees should be trained on EV-specific practices, such as maximising range through regenerative braking and using preconditioning features.
It says policies should be developed for home and public charging reimbursement, emphasising options such as smart tariffs and overnight charging, and that consideration should also be given to how drivers can use charging downtime productively.
Paul Holland, managing director for UK/ANZ fleet at Allstar’s parent company Corpay, said: “The 2030 phase-out of [new] petrol and diesel-only vehicles is a critical turning point for UK fleets. Businesses must act now to position themselves for success in a new era of transportation, and the starting point is equipping themselves with insights and information on how to do this effectively and with minimal disruption.
“Electrification isn’t just good for the environment; it makes business sense too. Potentially lower benefit in kind taxes, reduced fuel and maintenance costs, and access to government incentives mean that fleets can achieve significant savings while contributing to a greener future.
“Our goal is to ensure that businesses not only manage this transformation but also see it as a strategic advantage. With the right plans and support, electrification is no longer a challenge, but an opportunity to lead the way in smarter, more sustainable operations.”
