Cutting Costs: The Financial Benefits of Switching Your Fleet to Electric in Ireland
For businesses operating fleets in Ireland, controlling costs is more important than ever. Moving to electric vehicles (EVs) isn’t just a sustainability decision—it’s a smart financial move. Here’s how:
✅ Lower Fuel Costs – Charging an EV is significantly cheaper than fuelling a petrol or diesel vehicle. With the right solutions, businesses can track and optimise charging costs, whether at home, work, or in public.
✅ Reduced Maintenance – EVs have fewer mechanical components & fewer consumables, leading to lower servicing and repair costs over time—no oil changes, no exhaust system, and fewer mechanical failures
✅ Tax Incentives & Grants – Irish businesses can benefit from government grants, SEAI incentives, and VRT reductions, helping to offset the upfront cost of switching to EVs.
✅ Reduced Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) for Drivers – Company car drivers of EVs benefit from a lower BIK rate, making EVs a more attractive option for employees while reducing overall fleet costs.
✅ Optimised Charging & Cost Management – With smart charging and reimbursement solutions, companies can track and control EV charging expenses across home, workplace, and public charging points.
