From 2035, new vehicles powered solely by an internal combustion engine (ICE) will no longer be available for your fleet1. In our latest research2 just 23% of commercial fleet decision makers have started to implement plans to electrify their vehicles.

As this deadline approaches, many businesses may be starting to think about this transition more and more. But what do you need to consider if you are planning to make the switch to a greener commercial fleet?

To help you, Lex Autolease has created the LEXperts video series: four fact-filled episodes featuring our team of commercial fleet professionals who share their expert knowledge to help make the transition to electric easier and more accessible for everyone.

“While moving towards an electric fleet may seem like a straightforward decision, there’s so much to consider, from which vehicles can be swapped now and which may have to wait, to where they can be charged and what it means for your bottom line. The purpose of the LEXperts videos is to look at the process in depth, to help anyone considering going electric fully understand what’s involved.”
