Hardly any topic is discussed as controversially in the industry as electric mobility. Political initiatives push for more e-vehicles in fleets, while demand at the counter often paints a different picture.
Industry associations point to the still-lacking market readiness: many rental customers have little experience with e-vehicles and, when given the choice, often still opt for the combustion engine. Charging infrastructure, charging time and range play a central role here.
For rentals this means: deploy e-vehicles in a targeted, demand-oriented way, inform customers well and map the special requirements – such as charge level at handover and return – cleanly in the process.
