Why are more and more businesses choosing electric or plug-in hybrid cars? How can they reduce their costs? We show you the answers!
More and more people are opting for electric cars these days, but in the corporate world, vehicles that can be charged from solar panels are only just starting to make inroads. What could be behind this and what kind of car is the perfect choice for businesses? In our next article, we explore these questions!
Firstly, because of the lack of versatility. Firstly, electric vehicles have a limited range, so employees may no longer be able to make long journeys without charging. On the other hand, charging is also more complicated and time-consuming than for conventional cars. While these tasks are much easier to manage for the average person, they are an unnecessary nuisance for businesses.
Of course, it should not be overlooked that, in the case of fleet cars, the only cost that the lessee has to pay over and above the monthly lease or rental fee is, practically speaking, the cost of refuelling. As more and more companies have partially renewable energy sources, electric cars are also starting to become more popular.
Companies can even set up their own solar park with the help of subsidies, which can be easily used to charge electric vehicles. The European Union’s goal is for Member States, including Hungary, to become climate neutral by 2050. This is why more solar tenders are expected in the future, and electric and hybrid vehicles could play an increasing role in car fleets.
The most obvious choice is plug-in hybrid vehicles. They are becoming more in demand in the business sector every day, as daily refuelling can be easily achieved with the aforementioned solar panels. However, unlike all-electric cars, plug-in hybrids also have a petrol or diesel engine, which allows them to be used for longer journeys.
Modern plug-in hybrids can travel up to 50-80 km in electric mode, with the petrol or diesel engine kicking in immediately when the car runs out of charge. Plug-in hybrids are therefore a bridge between conventional hybrids and electric cars. They come in a wide range of types, including cars, light commercial vehicles and trucks,
Electric fleet cars are an increasingly attractive choice, as they can be charged from a company solar panel, while petrol or diesel plug-in hybrids are a safe bet for businesses on long journeys. If you have your own solar fleet, electric cars are definitely worth considering when building your company fleet.
