Colin Dart, a technology manager at business incubator SETsquared Exeter, is the proud driver of a brand new Mazda MX-30.
The electric model has better navigation, sharper acceleration and more comfortable seats than his old diesel car, a trifecta that Dart says has “added a lot of comfort” to his daily commute.
Drawn by the emissions benefits—and the appeal of shiny new cars at lower prices—workers like Dart are increasingly expecting access to EVs as part of their employment. Those expectations are helping businesses embrace electric models, which afford them tax perks, too, as well as a reduced carbon footprint and environmental cred with investors.
At Zenith, a car leasing management company, over 40 percent of the fleet is now electric, up from 27 percent just a year ago. “It’s very, very popular. It’s very, very attractive,” says Ian Hughes, chief executive officer of Zenith’s corporate division. “And it’s working incredibly well.” And the market for secondhand electric cars is looking shaky. In June, the average price of a used EV in the UK was down around 20 percent year over year, to £31,340. Hundreds of thousands more used models are expected to enter the market over the next few years, as company cars come to the end of their lease periods.
