Electric vehicles are increasingly capable of traveling further distances and their costs are lower. They are increasing competitiveness to such an extent that it is no longer only purchased by individuals, but companies are also acquiring these vehicles to add to their fleet.
Do you want to know how the situation of electric vehicles is?
By 2020 there could be already nearly 700.000 electric vehicles purchased by companies only in Germany. To optimize the use of resources, reduce transport costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, Germany has a new transport system based on the use of car sharing. It is called carsharing.
At Power2Drive Europe, a fair specialized in charging infrastructure and electromobility that has its first appointment from June 20 to 22 in Munich (Germany), this sector that promotes electric cars will be analyzed.
Fleet maintenance and renewal costs are an important factor for companies that want to purchase electric cars. Therefore, it is necessary to choose whether to buy combustion or electric vehicles depending on the evolution of the electromobility of the attraction for the company fleets.
It is expected that by 2020 the costs of acquisition, electricity, maintenance and repairs of electric cars will have been reduced, although there are no State subsidies. It is also estimated that its price is around 3,2% cheaper than a car with a combustion engine.
“Today the purchase price hardly makes a difference between a combustion car and an electric one. In the case of commercial vehicles that are used and depreciated under leasing, it is becoming increasingly advantageous for companies to opt for the electric variant, ”says Power2Drive.
As you can see, electric vehicles are gradually making their way into markets around the world.
