Electric Vehicles

Why Electric?

An electric fleet helps you meet sustainability goals, reduce operating costs, and create a better experience for your drivers. But the benefits go far beyond daily operations. Electric vehicles can strengthen your competitive edge, helping you win contracts with sustainability requirements, attract talent who value environmental leadership, and align with the expectations of customers and communities.
That said, transitioning to electric isn’t just a vehicle swap – it’s a strategic shift.

It requires new infrastructure, thoughtful planning, and strong driver support. EV technology is evolving rapidly, and every fleet has unique needs. That’s why Holman has invested in research, analytics, and hands-on expertise to help you decide when, how, and if your fleet should go electric. With EV Consult, we’ll guide your journey and help you achieve your goals, confidently and in a way that’s built around your business.

EV Lifecycle Support

Holman supports the entire fleet cycle with our Buy-Drive-Service-Sell model. This comprehensive approach is built on transparency, flexibility, and deep operational insight, giving you the confidence to move with the market and make informed decisions at every stage of your fleet’s electrification journey. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or expanding your existing electric fleet, we use the power of data to guide your EV strategy, helping you choose the right vehicles, support your drivers, maintain performance, and maximise long-term value.

Buy

We start by understanding your goals, operational needs, and where you are on your sustainability journey. Using your fleet data, including mileage, vehicle types, and usage patterns, we assess EV viability and readiness across your operations. This helps identify which vehicles are suitable for electrification, and can review their zero-emission counterparts that meet your performance and payload requirements. We also guide you through funding models, available government incentives, and infrastructure planning, ensuring your investment is strategic, cost-effective, and aligned with your long-term fleet goals.

Drive

Charging is one of the biggest considerations in any EV transition, and we help you get it right from the start. We assess whether your drivers have access to suitable home charging, and where that’s not viable, we help with public or depot-based alternatives. To make charging easy, we offer access to a multi-network charge card covering over 90% of UK fuel stations and more than 62,000 EV charge points. The card also helps you identify high-cost refuelling patterns, so you can manage spend and optimise charging behaviour. We ensure your drivers are supported with suitable training, so they’re equipped, confident, and ready to make the most of their EVs.

Service

Our nationwide network of EV-capable garages ensures your vehicles stay on the road, with technicians trained in EV servicing and diagnostics. Using telematics, we provide full transparency into vehicle health and usage, so you can spot issues before they become costly problems. All of this data is available via Holman Insights, our digital platform that gives you real-time visibility and control over every vehicle in your fleet. From managing service schedules to tracking performance trends, you’ll have the tools to keep your fleet running efficiently and sustainably.

Sell

When it’s time to retire or replace your EVs, we help you maximise residual value. Our remarketing strategies are built around real-time market data, buyer demand, and evolving EV residual value trends, so your vehicles are positioned competitively and sold at the right time. We take into account key factors like depreciation curves, battery health, and market demand to recommend the best route for each vehicle. And with our finance lease proposition, you retain all of the resale profits, giving you full control and a direct return on your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of fleet electrification?

Transitioning your fleet to include electric vehicles has many benefits. Electric vehicles avoid fuel price volatility, require less maintenance and have numerous BIK benefits to your drivers. They can also help you meet emissions standards and take advantage of government incentives to transition to electric vehicles.

Additionally, many individuals and companies are interested in working with green companies. An electric fleet vehicle can help you attract the best talent and win contracts with customers for whom sustainability is front of mind.

How can Holman help me to electrify my fleet?

Holman offers many services to help you strategically and effectively manage the transition to an electric fleet vehicle.

We can help you:

Plan your electric fleet vehicle acquisition cycle and financing
Help you execute your plan to achieve your objectives
Support your drivers to adapt to a world with charging stations instead of petrol pumps
Integrate your sustainability data into our suite of fleet management technology so that you can easily report on your green operations.

How should I prepare for a transition to an EV fleet?

The same rules apply for any new electric fleet vehicle acquisition, including electric vehicles. It’s crucial to buy at the right time, choose the right financing, and plan for the total cost of ownership of the vehicle.

Electric vehicles (EVs) provide value by reducing fuel and maintenance costs. However, many drivers are unfamiliar with EVs and may require training to help them transition from searching for the petrol pump to looking for the charging station. Holman’s EV experts can help you develop a sustainable fleet plan, transition your vehicles at the right time, implement an EV recycling plan and make the adjustment easy for your drivers by supplying proper training.

How can I track and report on my sustainability efforts?

As stakeholders are likely to be interested in your sustainability metrics, Holman has integrated green metrics into our fleet management technology services suite. You can track fuel and maintenance cost savings from going electric, and report on emissions reductions and other sustainability metrics for key stakeholders, investors, government agencies, prospective talent, potential customers, and the public.
