FLEETDRIVE
Here are three initial considerations for crafting your EV policy:
1. Know your people and their trips – intimately: Go beyond basic demographics. Conduct thorough internal assessments – surveys, focus groups, or even one-on-one discussions – to understand the current home charging access and typical journey profiles of your employees. What are the common dwelling types? What are their daily and weekly mileage requirements? What potential charging challenges might they realistically face based on their living situations?
2. Clarify your EV roadmap – with precision: Clearly define whether EV adoption is compulsory or voluntary and establish a realistic timeline for implementation. This strategic decision significantly impacts the scale and nature of your home charging policy’ s requirements.
3. Explore charging support – creatively and comprehensively: Investigate the most appropriate way for each employee to charge. Develop flexible reimbursement schemes that cater to diverse residential scenarios, including options for those in rental properties or strata schemes.
By thoughtfully incorporating home charging into your fleet policy, your organisation can build a truly sustainable and driver-friendly fleet for the future, one where the transition to electric mobility is smooth, efficient, and embraced by your employees.
