From planning to execution, we'll support you to switch to a greener fleet, making the process straightforward and manageable.

How it works

When, where and how to adopt electric vehicles differs for every organisation. At SG Fleet, we take a collaborative consulting approach to make sustainability work for your business. The end result is a carefully thought-out plan that details exactly how you can transition to a ZEV fleet cost-effectively.

Understanding your goals

The process begins with strategy setting and understanding your goals. Whether you're looking to reduce emissions, lower fuel and maintenance costs, improve reputational or green credentials, or simply prepare for a low-emission future, we help establish your direction. Whatever it may be, we'll work with you to understand what success looks like for your business.

Readiness assessment

We then assess your current fleet against your goals and study vehicle usage patterns, the frequency of travel, the distances covered and the total cost of ownership (TCO). From this, we'll identify the right opportunities to switch from ICE to EV or PHEV, and present the best vehicle replacement options to you which will form your future fleet makeup.

Site assessment

Next, we select a site to establish your charging network, informed by the output from our readiness assessment (vehicle usage patterns). We'll also look at the current site capability, including the charging infrastructure, proposed charging locations on the site, and the building situation in terms of rent, length of the lease and more.

Transition planning

Using the information gathered, we devise a transition plan, considering your existing fleets lease end dates and when the ZEVs are available. We also determine which sites will need to be enabled first and if you need to extend other leases.

Funding support

Finally, we plan out any funding support if needed, supporting you all the way through the transition and implementation processes.

How eStart can help you

Transitioning to a greener fleet isn’t just about replacing your vehicles. With our electric vehicle fleet management solution, you can assess your various needs in advance, giving you greater control over the process.

No hidden costs

Your readiness assessment and review highlight any associated costs, which means you won't be caught off guard by hidden costs later in the process.

Finding the right vehicles for you

You will also gain an understanding of the types of vehicles you need, including those that cannot be replaced with ZEVs. This saves you any unnecessary expenses by replacing the wrong vehicles.

Understanding your infrastructure

After thoroughly assessing your site, we create the best plan of action for charging and parking your new ZEVs. This includes charge-point installation costs and where best to place them.

A smooth and simple transition

You might think transitioning to a green fleet is complex, but our EV fleet management solutions are designed to minimise disruption throughout the whole process. With eStart, you can take the risk and unexpected costs out of the equation.
