EV100 fleets on target for 2030 deadline
A new report by Climate Group has found that members of EV100 are confident of operating 100% electric fleets by 2030.
EV100 is Climate Group’s global network of companies committed to full fleet electrification.
Nearly 70% said they had been able to continue working towards a fully electric fleet by 2030 despite challenging economic and trading conditions.
This is according to the network’s latest Progress and Insights Report, Turning Commitment into Action: How Ambitious Fleets are Driving the Global EV Transition.
The report also revealed that members added more than 127,000 EVs to their fleets over the reporting period, bringing the total number of EVs deployed by the network to over 700,000 across 76 markets.
To date, 20 EV100 members have achieved 50% or higher conversion across their committed fleets, while charging access to staff and customers have been provided in 4,277 locations.
Dominic Phinn, head of transport at Climate Group, said: “Companies are leading the charge towards a cleaner, healthier transport future. But for these businesses to continue to push their EV transitions forward, the right operating conditions also need to be put in place — and fast.
“Policymakers worldwide must urgently step up their efforts to create the conditions needed to speed up the transition. This includes significantly expanding charging and grid infrastructure, establishing clear legislative frameworks that provide businesses with certainty and confidence, and launching public campaigns to build widespread support and understanding.”
