The fleet sector is being seen as the vital leader in the early adoption of electric vehicles.

Mike Moore, director, Deloitte Car Consulting, believes that employers and employees will find it increasingly hard to ignore the tax benefits.

This will be coupled with a growing sense of corporate social responsibility, which will increase the pressure to move to EVs, while guarantees from manufacturers around the technology will also deliver more certainty.

“If we look at some of the tax breaks available to corporates, I think there’s going to be a real drive from them to move to electric vehicles,” Moore told delegates at last week’s Vehicle Remarketing Association (VRA) conference.
