Corporate Electric Vehicle (EV) Fleet Transition & Leasing

The Business Case for Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are changing how Irish companies do business. Moving away from diesel or petrol is no longer just about being green. It is a smart financial strategy. An electric fleet drastically cuts your monthly fuel bills. Electricity costs much less per kilometre than traditional fuel. We help Limited companies trading for over a year harness these savings. We provide clear data to show exactly how much money your business will save.

Cutting Your Total Cost of Ownership

When you buy a car, you look at the sticker price. When you lease a fleet, you look at the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Electric vehicles often have a slightly higher starting price than diesel cars. However, their TCO is much lower. They require less maintenance because they have fewer moving parts. There are no oil changes, no exhaust repairs, and less wear on the brakes. Over a three-year lease, an EV is highly cost-effective.

Understanding Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) Savings

Company car drivers love electric vehicles because of the tax savings. The Irish government offers very low Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rates for zero-emission vehicles. A driver switching from a diesel car to an electric model can save thousands of euros in personal tax every year. This makes an electric company car a fantastic tool for rewarding your staff and attracting top talent to your business.

Overcoming Range Anxiety for Your Drivers

Range anxiety is the fear that a battery will run out before reaching a charger. We know this is a big concern for fleet managers. We remove this worry entirely through careful planning. Modern electric cars can drive hundreds of kilometres on a single charge. We analyze the daily routes of your sales reps and delivery drivers. We only recommend an electric vehicle if it comfortably meets their daily driving needs.

Workplace Charging Solutions

To get the best from an electric fleet, you need the right charging setup. Charging vehicles overnight at your depot or office is the cheapest option. We guide you through the process of installing workplace chargers. We can connect you with trusted installation partners. We also explain how to track the electricity usage of your fleet, ensuring your finance team can monitor the exact cost of "fueling" your vehicles.

Home Charging for Company Car Drivers

Many company car drivers take their vehicles home at night. Charging an EV in a home driveway is incredibly convenient. We advise your drivers on how to apply for government grants for home chargers. We also help your business set up automated reimbursement systems. This ensures drivers are quickly and fairly paid back for the electricity they use to charge their company cars at home.

Navigating the Public Charging Network

Sometimes drivers need to charge while out on the road. The Irish public charging network is growing rapidly every month. We educate your drivers on how to use fast chargers at motorway service stations. We can provide unified charging cards that work across different networks. This means your drivers do not need to juggle multiple apps or use their personal credit cards to charge up on a long journey.

Electric Commercial Vans for Deliveries

Electric vans are perfect for urban trades and final-mile deliveries. They are quiet, smooth to drive, and produce zero tailpipe emissions. Driving an electric van means your business can easily win green public sector contracts. We source all makes and models of electric vans. We can even organize custom fit-outs, such as ply-lining and roof racks, so your new electric van arrives ready to work.

Unmatched Brand Choice and Independent Sourcing

Because we are brand-agnostic, we find the best electric vehicle for your specific needs. However, our connection to the Johnson & Perrott Motor Group gives us massive buying power. We hold strong franchise relationships across Ford, KIA, Land Rover, MG, Opel, Peugeot, and Volvo. This means we get priority access to the latest EV models and fantastic corporate pricing, passing those benefits directly to you.

Meeting Corporate Sustainability Goals

Every major business is looking for ways to reduce its carbon footprint. Your fleet is likely one of your biggest sources of emissions. Transitioning to electric vehicles is the fastest way to slash your carbon output. We help you track these reductions. We provide detailed reports showing exactly how much CO2 your fleet has saved. You can use this data in your annual sustainability reports and marketing materials.

Dedicated Local Support in Cork and Dublin

Transitioning to an electric fleet is a big project. You need a partner you can trust. We do not use overseas call centres. We operate directly from our bases in Cork and Dublin. You get a dedicated Irish account manager. They will sit down with you, look at your current fleet, and build a customized transition plan. We provide local, hands-on support every step of the way.

Global EV Insights Through the Element-Arval Alliance

Future-Proofing Your Business Operations

The sale of new petrol and diesel cars will eventually end. The time to start preparing your business is now. By moving to electric vehicles early, you stay ahead of the competition. You avoid sudden shocks from rising fuel prices or new carbon taxes. Our contract hire leasing protects your cash flow and ensures you are always driving the newest, most efficient electric technology available.
