Electric Vehicle Fleet
Smarter, Cleaner & More Cost-Effective Business Travel
Electric vehicles are continuing to reshape business travel across the UK. They’re cleaner, more efficient and often far cheaper to run than traditional petrol or diesel cars and vans. For businesses of every size - from self-employed traders to multi-vehicle national fleets - switching to electric is a practical and financially smart operational choice.
At Car Leasing, we specialise in helping organisations build electric vehicle fleets that cut running costs, reduce emissions and support long-term efficiency. Whether you’re taking your first steps towards electrification or planning a complete transition from combustion engines, we’ll help you build a fleet that’s modern, compliant and future-ready.

What Is an Electric Vehicle Fleet?
An electric vehicle fleet is a group of fully electric cars or vans used by a business or organisation. These vehicles run exclusively on electricity, eliminating tailpipe emissions and significantly reducing ongoing running costs.
Electric fleets often include:
Fully electric company cars
Electric commercial vans
Mixed fleets during transition (EVs alongside petrol or diesel)
Long-range electric cars for high-mileage drivers
If your business wants to reduce emissions, support ESG goals or provide employees with modern, low-tax company cars, an electric fleet offers a flexible, cost-effective solution.
Why So Many Businesses Are Moving to Electric Fleets
The growing switch to electric fleets is driven by clear financial, environmental and operational benefits.
Lower Running Costs
Electricity costs significantly less per mile than petrol or diesel. For companies with regular business mileage, the savings can be substantial.
Reduced Emissions
EVs help organisations dramatically lower their carbon footprint, aligning with sustainability commitments and improving public perception.
Valuable Tax Incentives
Electric company cars benefit from some of the lowest Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rates in the UK. Businesses can also claim tax allowances on lease rentals and reduce National Insurance contributions.
EV fleets help businesses:
Cut operational and fuel costs
Lower tax liabilities
Avoid Clean Air Zone charges
Reduce maintenance spend
Improve brand reputation
