Corporate Electric Vehicle (EV) Fleet Transition & Leasing
Johnson & Perrott Fleet provides end-to-end electric vehicle (EV) transition strategies and B2B vehicle leasing strictly for LTD businesses trading for over 12 months. Operating from our bases in Dublin and Cork, we support corporate fleets nationwide in reducing emissions, lowering their total cost of ownership, and navigating EV infrastructure seamlessly.
Independent, Brand-Agnostic EV Sourcing
While we leverage the purchasing power of the Johnson & Perrott Motor Group—which proudly represents Ford, KIA, Land Rover, MG, Opel, Peugeot, and Volvo—our fleet division operates completely independently. We supply all electric makes and models. Whether you need a fleet of electric commercial vans for urban deliveries or executive electric saloons for your sales team, we source the exact vehicles that fit your operational needs, free from manufacturer bias.
Our 4-Step EV Transition Process
Transitioning an entire fleet requires careful planning. We manage the shift to zero-emission mobility through a structured approach:
-
Telemetry & Mileage Analysis: We analyze your fleet's current driving patterns, daily mileage, and payload requirements to identify which routes and drivers are perfectly suited for immediate EV adoption.
-
Vehicle Selection: Because we are brand-agnostic, we match your specific operational needs with the best available electric cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) on the market.
-
Charging Infrastructure Strategy: We advise on workplace, home, and public charging solutions, ensuring your drivers always have access to the power they need to keep moving.
-
Driver Support & Management: Transitioning can be daunting for drivers. We provide comprehensive onboarding, 24/7 support, and ongoing fleet management to ensure a seamless shift.

-
Reduced Running Costs: Significantly lower your cost-per-kilometer through reduced fuel and scheduled maintenance expenses.

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
We are the exclusive Irish partner of the Element-Arval Global Alliance. This partnership gives us access to massive amounts of global data on electric vehicles. We know which EVs perform best in the real world, and we know how different battery types degrade over time. We bring this world-class knowledge back to Ireland, ensuring your business gets the best possible advice on its EV strategy.
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.
