BP has commissioned a new piece of research to explore how fleet managers and fleet drivers feel about electrification. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The research reveals confidence among fleets towards the switch to EVs, with\u00a0 25% of both groups admitting to feeling \u2018excited and proud\u2019 about the prospect of an electric fleet. Sixty-nine per cent of fleet managers and 52% of fleet drivers say they feel this way because of the positive impact switching will have on the environment. \u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe research also shows that nearly half of fleet managers (43%) and fleet drivers (41%) think they will have begun the transition within the next two years, demonstrating further eagerness within the industry to embrace change soon. \u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nHowever, despite growing confidence, over half of fleet managers (53%) and fleet drivers (52%) say that charging on the go is still a concern. When then asked about whether the nation will be ready for the 2030 ban, both fleet managers (62%) and drivers (69%) think that the cost of EVs will stand in the way of wider adoption.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nAdrian Brabazon, UK Fleet Sales Manager, says: \u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see that many fleets are feeling positive about the transition to electric vehicles, and that confidence is growing within the industry. The announcement of our own investment in public charging will hopefully only drive this further. We know, however, that there are still obstacles to overcome, and that charging concerns still exist for fleets making regular long journeys \u2013 despite a growing network of ultra-fast chargers in the UK.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cOur research has shown that over half (54%) of fleets will use the public charging network in addition to charging points at home or at their depots. Our Fuel and Charge cards offer cost effective electric charging and fuelling solutions to support fleets with their first electric vehicle right through to a fully electric fleet.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nThis research marks the launch of Now\u2019s the Time, bp\u2019s new campaign to support fleets with electrification and make the journey towards sustainability and net zero a little more straightforward, through the Fuel and Charge offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
