On the one hand, you must respond to the requirement to reduce fleet emissions and contribute to decarbonisation. But the matter has long since ceased to be a question of simply doing your duty. More and more company car drivers want to drive electrical vehicles and are expressing this interest to fleet management: because the vehicles are fun, because charging anxiety is increasingly slipping into the background – and because electric cars give you guaranteed tax benefits. Recent studies show that loyalty to e-drive is highest for repeat orders: Around three-quarters of business e-car users will choose an e-vehicle again when they place their next order, these studies show. That speaks for itself.

This varies greatly – especially because practically every company has its own individual “maturity level”. Here is an example of what I am talking about: A classic medium-sized company has four levels in its car policy, from technician to manager, including the corresponding listed vehicle models and classes. The company now wants to get into e-mobility. Fleet managers who are not yet well versed in this area have to answer a number of questions: What are the e-equivalents to the Passat, Tiguan etc.? What used to be litres/100 km are now kWh. How do I incorporate this into the new policy in a meaningful way?
