Fleet Evolution is Encouraging Electric Company Cars

With the news unveiled in the Queen’s Speech, the government plans to invest £600 million into ultra-low emissions vehicles. Fleet Evolution, the salary sacrifice experts, is urging businesses to introduce hybrid and electric company cars.

In 2013, just 3,500 electric vehicles were registered in the UK. After that, the number surged to 212,000 electric vehicles! More and more low-emissions vehicles are taking to the road. With the Queen’s Speech specifying that petrol stations and motorway services must supply charging points, it looks as though the government is making sure electric cars are Britain’s future.

Electric Company Cars are What Brits Need!

Not only because of the benefit to the environment, but also the benefit to the driver. As part of a salary sacrifice scheme, ULEVs don’t incur as much tax as the rest of the salary. They also cost much less to run in day-to-day terms.

There are plenty of models available, from Elon Musk’s Tesla range to the more affordable Nissan Leaf. So businesses will not find themselves stuck for choice. Instead, they can offer attractive rates to employees as well as a selection of vehicles.

Guidance and grants are available to businesses looking to make their fleet more environmentally friendly. With the UK at the forefront of the electric car revolution, Fleet Evolution encourages firms to help lead the way.
