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 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
How far can you drive with an electric car?
Electric cars are continually improving their range, and the number of new models with long range capabilities is increasing. Concurrently, the number of charging stations along roads has also increased, which should collectively weaken the rational basis for range anxiety.
However, many electric car drivers wonder: can we actually trust the stated range (WLTP)? They are right, most of the ranges announced in Thailand are NEDC. This is not a representative norm, in Europe the ranges announced are WLTP, typically 25% less kms.
Further our experience is that even WLTP ranges are too optimistic, please consult us for realistic predictive range.
Range varies according to driving usage, it is less on motorway, it is obviously less with intense air conditioning usage and high speed.
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.
