Get your fleet electrification report now

Thinking about adding electric vehicles to your fleet but not sure where to start? Our fleet electrification planning report will evaluate your current fleet and recommend which vehicles could be replaced with an electric model.

What is it?

The fleet electrification planning report helps you identify which vehicles in your fleet could be replaced with an electric model, based on your average daily run and other telematics data.

How does it work?

The report runs a deep analysis on your fleet mileage and compares it to the expected maximum daily distance relevant to your business. If a vehicle currently runs safely within this distance, you'll get a recommendation to replace it with an EV. You want to also include additional information such as road types and standstill time to help refine your decision.

Benefits

If you want to add EVs to your fleet and would like to build a business case, the report helps you to:

Easily see which vehicles could be replaced with an EV
Calculate the potential savings in fuel expenses

Streamline your electric fleet management with seamless data sharing between your solution providers.

What our EV customers have to say

The published ranges of EVs can be lower in the real world due to load, temperature, terrain and driving behaviour. With Webfleet reporting, we get daily real-world mileages for ICE and electric vehicles, plus criteria like road types and standstill times. We can see a vehicles' true EV potential, TCO and emissions savings.

Owain Pearce, Oxford Direct Services

With Webfleet, we use telematics data to understand average/longest daily journeys, vehicle dwell times and more. That's key to identifying the best electric vehicle for our usage and helps us optimise the size and number of chargers for our fleet.

OVO energy

With Webfleet, we could see exact mileage, tail lift use and average speeds for the original diesel truck – allowing us to anticipate exact energy needs. This meant we didn’t overspend on battery packs we didn’t need and it ensures that the battery will perform right up to the end of its term.

Richard Montgomery, Managing Director, Mitchells of Mansfield

Riverford has always had sustainability at its heart, and the health of people and planet is a top priority for us. With Webfleet, we’re putting this into action by helping to take the stress out of anticipating charging needs for our drivers.

All you need to know about EV fleet management

What is EV fleet management?

EV fleet management is the process of running an EV fleet efficiently, safely and productively. Smart planning is crucial for effective EV fleet management—jobs should be planned according to vehicle charge.

How is EV fleet management different from the fleet management for petrol-powered vehicles?

The main difference between managing an EV fleet and one that uses petrol is how you power your vehicles. With internal combustion engines, it's a matter of filling up at a petrol station. Managing an EV fleet requires planning jobs based on range capacity and recharges.

How does EV fleet management work?

Fleet management technology plays a significant role. You need the ability to monitor your EV locations and charge status, data that's vital to route planning and job completion. Electric vehicle fleet management software gives you greater control with notifications on battery levels. Thinking of switching to EVs? Use our free Fleet Electrification Report to analyse how much you could save on fuel and CO₂ emissions by going electric. Request a free consultation

How can EV fleet management help reduce costs?

EV fleet management helps reduce costs by optimising energy consumption, improving vehicle maintenance schedules and taking advantage of government incentives. Through tools like route optimisation and real-time monitoring of battery performance, fleet managers can minimise charging times and reduce energy waste.

What is the difference between ICE and EV cars?

Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are powered entirely by petrol, whereas a lithium-ion battery is used to power EV engines. Therefore, EVs do not generate tailpipe emissions as ICE vehicles do.

What types of EVs are available for fleet management?

If you are looking to electrify your fleet, there are three categories of electric vehicles you could consider.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs): These vehicles are powered by rechargeable batteries, making them 100% electric
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs): The batteries for these vehicles are charged either through regenerative braking or by plugging into an external power source
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs): Hybrids can run on gasoline as well as electricity, which is produced with regenerative braking

What factors should be considered for EV fleet management?

When managing an EV fleet, consider the following factors to ensure cost efficiency and operational success.

Total cost of ownership (TCO): Evaluate the long-term costs of owning and operating EVs, including purchase price, maintenance and fuel savings. compared to traditional vehicles.
Charging infrastructure and availability: Assess the availability and suitability of charging stations for your fleet's routes and operations. This includes planning for on-site charging stations and understanding public charging network coverage.
Battery life and replacement costs: Monitor battery health to determine the lifespan and potential replacement expenses, ensuring it aligns with your fleet's financial goals.
Driving range and operational needs: Match vehicle range with the daily travel requirements of your fleet. Consider factors like weather and payload, which can impact range.

What are the key benefits of an electric vehicles fleet?

Lower running costs than ICE vehicles: Eliminating your fleet's need for fossil fuels means there’s no need to budget in gasoline expenses. On average, an electric vehicle will accrue less than half of the travel costs of an ICE vehicle across the same distance.
Simpler and cheaper maintenance: EVs have fewer moving parts, which means fleet managers can save thousands a year on maintenance costs, approximately one third of the cost of maintaining ICE vehicles.
More vehicle data to improve performance: Combined with an EV fleet management system, additional vehicle data will help fleet managers monitor and calculate how cost effective it has been to add EVs to their fleet.
Massively reduced carbon footprint: Contribute to better air quality by lowering your fleet emissions.
Leading the way: EVs offer the chance to be a market leader by adapting quickly to the technological shift.

What are the environmental benefits of switching to EV fleets?

Since EVs don’t generate any tailpipe emissions, they’re essential to improving air quality. Electric vehicles help fleets comply with increasingly strict environmental regulations, including zero-emission zones.

Are EVs cost effective for long-term fleet use?

Yes, EVs are cost effective in the long run thanks to lower fuel and maintenance costs, government incentives and lowered environmental penalties.

What challenges are associated with managing an EV fleet?

Challenges can include:

Initial investment in vehicles and charging infrastructure
Limited charging stations in some regions
Adapting operational schedules to account for charging times

However, these challenges can be mitigated with careful planning and by leveraging fleet management solutions that help optimise routes and charging schedules.

What is the role of technology in optimising EV fleet management?

With an EV fleet management system, it’s easy to monitor and calculate how cost effective the addition of EVs to their fleet has been. By analysing key metrics like battery levels, charging status, energy consumption and maintenance needs, fleet managers can make informed decisions.

How can EV fleets help businesses comply with regulations?

By adopting EVs, your fleet can comply with stricter regulations and benefit from government incentives to foster sustainable transportation. Additionally, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive emphasises the need for businesses to demonstrate their environmental performance, including reductions in carbon emissions. EV fleet management supports compliance with reliable emissions data and simplified reporting.
