The Source for Multinational Fleet Professionals
A lack of on-site electric charger provision by companies electrifying their fleets has been identified in a report by leasing and mobility provider Arval U.K.
Fleet EV drivers who must use public charging stations are finding the experience frustrating and problem prone.
Global Fleet Management UK/European editor Ralph Morton discusses fleet vehicle electrifiction issues with Gareth Thomas, business development manager at Project EV, one of the UK’s leading electric vehicle charging companies.
Aidan McClean, co-founder and CEO of UFODRIVE, an all-electric car rental service, cites new data revealing nearly 75% of EV drivers are not happy with the U.K.’s charging network.
To help the EU become climate neutral, the European Parliament wants a network of car-recharging stations every 60 km (37 miles) and hydrogen refueling stations every 100 km (62 miles).
The Association of Fleet Professionals warns that fleet drivers are inadvertently handed a penalty charge notice while waiting for an electric vehicle charger to become available.
Despite more public charging stations than ever before, public satisfaction with their local networks has declined. As more EV users hit the road, public charging stations will be stressed with higher volume, more technical issues, and less patience with the technology of tomorrow.
Powered by 100% renewable and green-certified wind and solar energy, the first installations are scheduled for July in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
The charging station delivers up to 11.5 kW of AC power to the vehicle’s onboard charger and features a weather resistant enclosure for indoor and outdoor installation applications.
SSE Energy Solutions, a utility company, is working with fleets and communities to hasten the roll out of additional charging points. SSE Energy Solutions has not only been planning the infrastructure, but it’s been helping fleets decarbonize and make the transition to EVs.
