Challenges to overcome with EV Deployment

Cars

  1. EV highway reliability
  2. EV highway payments not yet frictionless or contactless (receipts) – Apps, Charging Network Cards
  3. Availability – lead time
  4. Loss of home charging grant (and installation done by end of March) – excluding flats etc
  5. Super deductions not available to leasing
  6. Kerbside charging
  7. Quick changes to EV grants
  8. Parking restrictions when charging
  9. Lead time on repairs
  10. Company policy – trade up/ allow cash back
  11. Reimbursement – Clearer guidance on ‘at cost’ reimbursement
  12. No BIK tax tables beyond 2024/25

Commercial vehicles

  1. Kerbside charging (quantity)
  2. Access to charging bay
  3. Depot/ Office based charging infrastructure complexities
  4. EV highway payments not yet frictionless or contactless (receipts) – Apps, Charging Network Cards
  5. Driver Reimbursements for home energy costs
  6. Parking restrictions (Destination parking)
  7. Range
  8. Gaps in product – 4×4/ pick-ups
  9. EV highway reliability
  10. Availability – lead time
  11. Super deductions not available to leasing
  12. Lead time on repairs
  13. Grants only applicable to ‘completed’ vehicles
  14. Loss of home charging grant (and installation done by end of March)
  15. Quick changes to EV grants
  16. WLC on larger commercial vehicles and range
  17. Reimbursement – Clearer guidance on ‘at cost’ reimbursement
