How to bring employees along on your fleet electrification

Answering your employees' questions thoughtfully is important, but we recommend that employees be proactive and motivate drivers to electrify the company fleet. In this way, they help remove doubts and show employees the benefits of this transition.

Give employees the chance to experience an EV for themselves – after all, driving comfort is one of the main reasons why people are convinced to switch. The smooth and silent comfort of an EV combined with the ease of one pedal driving makes for an easy drive.

Gather testimonials from colleagues who have already adopted electric driving. This will grow awareness and positivity about EVs within your company.

For some drivers, fully electric cars are not a practical solution. It’s good to leave room in your car policy for plug-in hybrids where necessary.

Big changes are usually more effective when they start at the top, so aim to have your management team switch to EVs as soon as possible. And who are the internal influencers? Let them make the switch first so the rest will get inspired.

For employees that are particularly worried about the range of an EV we suggest offering a longer test drive of up to a week to try it out. In practice, an EV’s range can be more than enough for most daily trips and commutes but for some employees trying an EV for a longer period is the best way to lay range anxieties to rest.
