Despite an industry slow-down of 2% in sales in 2022 compared with 2021 for the number of cars sold in the UK…
December 2022 saw a staggering 42,284 new EV cars registered in the UK – that’s 52% more than the 27,705 registered in December 2021.
Diesel?
Just 4006 cars registered in December 2022. A miniscule 3.1% market share.
And in January 2022? Diesel sales were 6008 cars – 5.2% of the market.
The EV revolution is already here.
If you’re a business owner then you should install EV charging in the workplace and here’s just 5 reasons why.
Want to be seen as a forward-thinking business that embraces change, rather than dragging its feet until forced to change?
Sure, it’s easier to share a few green posts on social media, but doing something to considerably lower your carbon footprint and environmental impact is what matters to consumers and supply chains.
The government are going to subsidise you joining the revolution NOW. There are several grants available, but these won’t last forever.
The market will see increased competition and prices may lower for some large-scale projects. This won’t be the case for the majority of SME’s who need a high-quality long-term charging solution with seamless back-office management and good customer service.
It simply won’t be more affordable in the future without being ‘cheaper’, and you don’t want cheap.
Want staff to be happier at work and to work from the office regularly?
Enable your staff to adopt EV cars and join the revolution before your competitors do.
You can offer free or subsidised charging to staff and company EV’s are very tax efficient with various salary sacrifice schemes available – these will help you retain staff.
The highest number of EV insurance enquiries are made by retirees – those who have the largest disposable income of any age group.
The second and third highest number of enquiries came from NHS and IT workers respectively.
EV charging is the best way to incentivise these wealthy people to visit and spend their time at your business.
If your competitors aren’t doing this, then you have an immediate competitive advantage and will be seen as someone easier to do business with. If your competitors are doing this then ask yourself why aren’t you?
You can offer public charging whenever you like at the click of an app – you can entice visitors when you are open and/or when closed.
Not only can you increase footfall to your showroom, agency or office but you’ll get paid for doing so, even when you are closed.
