Octopus Electric Vehicles launches bundle to help electrify business fleets

Octopus Electric Vehicles has launched a new bundle to help make the process of businesses electrifying their fleets as easily as possible.

The firm claims switching to clean transport can reduce fuel costs by up to 90% and maintenance costs by up to 70% but notes a lack of information can prove a barrier to adoption.

It has partnered with Ohme, Alfen and FLEETCOR to provide a solution allowing businesses to unlock the financial and environmental benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) by helping fleet managers select the right model, decide what charging methods to use and manage their spend.

The Octopus Electric Vehicle Fleet Solution offers independent advice, specialist finance and servicing rates, the deployment of Alfen smart chargers at home and work, charging data reports and a support line.

Robert Labinski, Head of EV Business Solutions at Octopus Electric Vehicles, said: “The rise of EVs is a huge opportunity in the fleet sector - it allows managers to be a force for good on the road, with cleaner, greener transport.

"However, it does present small challenges: particularly giving drivers easy access to charging - and then reconciling the cost of charging whether at home, work or on the road. Fleet managers don’t want their staff to be out of pocket if they charge their electric vehicles at home, where they can access low cost, green electricity."
