Switching to electric

We've partnered with Fully Charged to create a series of videos on the reality of electric vehicles for both businesses and drivers

In series one we looked at everything from the basics of charging to efficient driving as well as understanding the savings that can be made.

In our latest series Fully Charged Show's Robert Llewelyn is joined by guests from LeasePlan to talk about the importance of driver familiarisation, how to reimburse EV drivers and everything else in between.

Electric Moments Series Two

Episode 1: The Road to Zero: Is your business ready for electric vehicles?

The UK Government plans to phase out new petrol and diesel cars and vans within a decade. In this episode of Electric Moments from LeasePlan, Robert Llewelyn of Fully Charged looks at what’s on the horizon for fleets, and how the UK is taking steps towards a cleaner, more efficient transport system and what you can do to get ready for the switch.

Episode 2: Getting your drivers ready to drive electric. Here's what you need to know.

The transition to electric vehicles is one of the biggest changes in the history of the automotive industry, but it needn’t be challenging for drivers. In this episode of Electric Moments from LeasePlan, produced with Robert Llewelyn and the team at Fully Charged, we asked drivers what they’ve learned about electric driving, and what advice they’d give to anyone who’s about to make the switch.

Episode 3: Expenses claims for electric vehicles - what can you claim back?

Electric vehicles have introduced a third ‘fuel’ for fleets, and the challenge of reimbursing drivers who could be charging at home, work and on the road is a key topic for fleet managers. Working with Robert Llewelyn’s Fully Charged, this episode of Electric Moments from LeasePlan discusses the potential hurdles, tax considerations and how new technology is streamlining the reimbursement process.

Episode 4: Making sense of electric vehicle charging - at home, at work and on the road

Easy, convenient access to charging is one of the most common concerns we hear from drivers considering electric vehicles, but plugging in isn’t as complicated as it sounds. In this episode of Electric Moments from LeasePlan, Robert Llewelyn of Fully Charged looks at the different options available for drivers and explains how to take advantage of the UK’s widespread, and constantly expanding, chargepoint network.

Episode 5: How much does an electric vehicle really cost to run?

Despite the higher list price, electric vehicles can offer significant cost savings for fleets and their drivers on a lifetime basis. Working with Robert Llewelyn’s Fully Charged, this episode of Electric Moments from LeasePlan looks at the whole-life cost advantages of electric cars and vans, including tax incentives, clean air zones and the true cost of servicing, maintenance and repairs.
