Diesel at record prices: is it time for fleets to switch to electric?

High diesel prices have strengthened the case for electric vans, but the financial benefit depends on how a fleet operates and where its vehicles can charge.

The analysis explores why a phased introduction can be more effective than replacing every vehicle at once, how home and depot charging affect the calculation, and what fleets should expect from telematics when managing electric vehicles alongside their existing diesel vans.
