Fleet Alliance partners with Diode to offer EV readiness tool

Fleet management company Fleet Alliance has partnered with Diode to offer a new EV readiness tool to allow fleets of any size to assess how ready they, and their employees, are to go down an electrification route.

The tool provides an intuitive digital journey for businesses and their drivers, helping them assess their readiness to make the transition to electric vehicles.

Fleet Alliance is providing businesses and their employees with free access to the tool, which is powered by Diode’s EV suitability assessment, instant driver readiness report and dynamic business insights dashboard.

For businesses, the tool highlights how much charging infrastructure is required to support the transition to EVs, when and where to install it, what power is required and an estimate of how much it will cost.

It also outlines employees’ suitability and interest in EVs and assesses the potential vehicle running costs and CO2 savings across the business.

From an employee’s perspective, the tool allows them to complete an EV suitability assessment which leads to a personalised driver readiness report. This shows the ways an EV could work for them, detailing the convenience of charging and running-cost savings.

The suitability assessment also includes a detailed breakdown of charging costs and frequency for every EV on the market, and allows drivers to view pricing and select a new vehicle. 

Company CEO, Andy Bruce, said: “This new tool cuts through the fog of uncertainty that often surrounds the decision to transition to EVs. And by providing clarity, it helps make the decision-making process easier – for both businesses and their employees.”
