Have you ever wondered what advantages electromobility brings`? Saving money with e-vehicles? Tax exemption? And driving is fun too? Here you will find many arguments that speak for the mobility turnaround in your company and how you can effectively meet challenges such as the shorter range.
"Is it economically worthwhile to convert to electric vehicles?" If this question is on your mind, we have a decision-making aid for you in this article. Because electric vehicles and e-bikes are worth considering, especially for fleets that mainly drive short distances. It is also worth giving electric vehicles a chance for recurring routes between different locations. In our current test of the company Dürrröhrsdorfer Fleisch- und Wurstwaren GmbH, you can read first-hand experiences from medium-sized businesses.
These 10 arguments will convince any electric vehicle sceptic!
The advantages of electric mobility are quickly explained: electric cars are emission-free, low-maintenance, inexpensive to maintain and also a lot of fun to drive. The lightning-fast torque can leave even the most powerful combustion engine at the traffic lights. Consumption costs are much lower: petrol costs around 10 euros for a 100-kilometre journey are quite normal for an averagely efficient combustion engine; with an e-motor you only pay half. The state also exempts owners of e-cars from all associated taxes for 10 years, including not only vehicle tax but also non-cash benefits such as charging the vehicles for private purposes. Driving bans in major German cities are completely irrelevant to e-car drivers. Insurance companies also reward the choice of an electric car with discounts of up to 50 percent. The trend towards electric and hybrid engines continues to gain ground thanks to subsidies, more attractive offers and a good image, as current trends in newly registered vehicles show.
Advantages of electromobility: little things MAKE EVERYDAY MORE EFFICIENT
With e-cars, the time is also over when you would have to have a guilty conscience because of a parking heater or parking cooler. Starting problems due to cool weather are a thing of the past. Less distraction and the lack of an engine block create more safety. The low driving noise also spares the driver's nerves - and those of the neighbours. The significantly faster acceleration makes city traffic twice as much fun. The durable e-vehicles are thus not only a source of pleasure for Mother Nature and the driver for a long time.
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH LOW COVERAGE AND OTHER CHALLENGES?
The ranges with one battery charge are sometimes still a problem in everyday life. Between 150 and 500 kilometres are possible without recharging. Short distances are no problem, which makes electric vehicles interesting for care services, courier services and parcel delivery companies - but not only for them. More and more fast-charging stations are also reducing charging times. Uncomplicated payment procedures like stromticket.de make everyday life easier. In Dresden and Eastern Saxony, you as a medium-sized company can also test electric vehicles easily and free of charge. The fact is that the future development of the public charging infrastructure has top priority in order to create a high level of acceptance among the general public. This also opens doors for start-ups that can contribute their own ideas for future individual transport.
YOUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE CREATES INDEPENDENCE
To avoid the problem of potentially insufficient public charging infrastructure, you can simply build your own. Many companies have the possibility to generate their own energy. Why not use this for electric mobility right away? With a so-called wallbox, self-sufficient mobility can already be made possible for a few e-vehicles and with little installation effort. New developments such as the Solar Flower create a combination of solar energy and charging stations, for example on company-owned car parks. This not only creates clean mobility, but also real independence. The plus: a highly visible proof of your environmentally conscious image. You also position yourself as a forward-looking and attractive employer.
