According to reports, 45% of fleet managers are missing out on the opportunity to transition to electric vehicles due to a lack of expertise in taking the first steps.   The research, carried out by mobility solutions company Alphabet, found that pressure to meet both government and business environmental deadlines means demand for EVs is on the rise, however navigating the rapid developments around EV implementation is placing fleet decision makers under pressure.   Nonetheless, fleet managers are expecting electric and hybrid vehicles to make up 56% of vehicle fleets within two years and more than three quarters expect to have fully electric fleets before 2030. Research by Churchill Expert, Direct Line Group’s flexible fleet insurance business, found that petrol and diesel vehicles currently make up two-thirds of fleets, with 16% being hybrid and less than one-fifth being electric vehicles (EVs). Fleet managers expect this breakdown to change in two years with the proportion of EVs increasing to 37% and hybrid vehicles to 20%.  With the push for sustainability and clean energy sources, many companies are already taking the leap towards electric vehicles (EVs) as a way to reduce their overall emissions. While this is a step in the right direction, Autotech Training points out that it is important to remember that simply owning an EV fleet is not enough to achieve these sustainability goals. In fact, if the drivers aren't comfortable and knowledgeable using EVs, it may just end up being a tick-the-box exercise on the part of the employer.
