Recent research indicates that the annual cost of operating an electric vehicle (EV) in the UK has decreased to £1,154, making it 50.2% more affordable than the £2,316 required for a petrol car. This significant reduction is primarily due to lower energy expenses, with EV drivers covering 10,000 miles annually spending just £174 on charging, compared to £1,209 on petrol.

At Toomey Leasing Group, we recognise the financial and environmental benefits of transitioning to electric vehicles. With over 55 years of experience in fleet management and vehicle leasing, we specialise in providing tailored solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating fleets ranging from 5 to over 100 vehicles. Our services encompass a wide array of vehicles, including electric and hybrid models, ensuring that your business can seamlessly integrate EVs into your operations.

Key Advantages of EVs for Your Fleet:

1. Reduced Energy Costs: Utilising dedicated home charging tariffs, EV drivers can significantly cut energy expenses. Even with occasional use of public charging stations, the overall energy cost remains substantially lower than that of petrol vehicles.

2. Lower Maintenance Expenses: Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, resulting in reduced wear and tear. This translates to lower servicing costs, with EVs averaging £232 annually, compared to £295 for petrol cars.

3. Environmental Responsibility: Adopting EVs demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, reducing your fleet’s carbon footprint and aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
