Electric Vehicles Episode 1

In the first of a two-part podcast about electric vehicles, two fleet experts discuss the developments in charging and battery technology. Listen now.

The UK government wants all new cars to be zero-emission by 2040 – with at least half of new cars to be there by 2030. In this podcast – the first of two dedicated to electric vehicles – two experts look at why electric vehicles and why they make a lot of sense right now for fleets and individuals.

Matt Walters is LeasePlan’s Head of Consultancy and Customer Data Services, and Andy Rayner. Together, they look at the latest plans and how a host of developments are making the case for starting electric.

These include increased range, the launch of the Tesla Model 3, the purchase of Chargemaster by BP and the role of e-LCVs in last-mile delivery.

They also explore:

• Charging developments
• Battery technology
• Public access charging
• Whole life costs
