“The fact that we’ve exceeded our target is not only confirmation that our vision is correct and that we were right to place our full backing behind electric vehicles, but also of the value that our AlphaElectric consultancy service brings to customers. There is a clear appetite among organisations for electric cars and vans, and this is only going to increase as vehicles continue to drop in price and misconceptions are dispelled. As a result, in 2015 we expect to see the orders of electric vehicles continue to increase significantly.

“There are often misguided perceptions around range anxiety and the cost of Electric Vehicles. As consultants, it’s our job to assess and prove the suitability of electric vehicles to a range of different customers, both in terms of funding and practical requirements. That’s why we ensure we regularly analyse our customers’ fleets to ascertain if there’s a requirement or opportunity to integrate EVs.”

The AlphaElectric initiative has helped Alphabet’s corporate customers with their overall business mobility mix and enabled them to consider including EV’s to support their traditional fleet. The AlphaElectric service is marque neutral and provides clients with fleet analysis, vehicle selection, charging solutions and long journey cover advice.
