Electrify your fleet
Why electrify the vehicle fleet?
- Environmentally friendly profile
Road traffic represents 10-15% of the world's CO2 emissions. To meet the Paris Agreement and Norway's climate goals by 2030, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced. Electric cars also contribute to better local air quality.
- More affordable
The electricity used by the company for charging is cheaper than fossil fuels, while electric vehicles also come with some additional benefits. Electric motors also require less maintenance.
- Predictability
Electric cars will not be affected by driving bans! Zero-emission goals will have significant implications for those who live, work, and deliver goods/services in the city.
- Ever-growing and better selection
In today's passenger car segment, there are now models available in almost every market segment and price range. This means that customers can demand much more based on their actual needs and choose a car type accordingly.
- Consumer expectations
One out of three individuals in today's society is concerned that delivery vehicles should also be electric cars.
Actual range
EV Range Confidence Is Growing
Electric vehicles are rapidly evolving, with newer models offering significantly longer driving ranges. At the same time, charging infrastructure is expanding along major routes, helping to ease concerns about range anxiety. Keep in mind, real-world range can vary depending on how you drive. High speeds, frequent acceleration, and heavy use of air conditioning can reduce the range, especially on highways.
WLTP
The range and consumption of electric cars are now determined by a testing cycle called WLTP (World Light Vehicle Test Procedure). The WLTP procedure is intended to be a more accurate and realistic measurement method than the previous testing cycle, NEDC (New European Driving Cycle).
How to electrify the vehicle fleet?
- Vehicle requirements & driving patterns
Start by mapping out current vehicle requirements and driving patterns. What is the number of stops and kilometers driven per day?
- Charging facilities
Are there sufficient charging facilities overnight? Is it possible to facilitate charging at work? Are there local support schemes for the establishment of charging points?
- Electric car ambassadors
Identify electric car ambassadors among the employees to advocate for the change. For companies looking to electrify their vehicle fleet, dissatisfied car users can make electric cars challenging to phase in. It is therefore important to collaborate with those who will drive the cars and let them feel that they are involved in shaping the car policy process.
- Start small!
Start with a pilot for a limited selection of cars.
