Alongside the charity Global Action Plan and Buckinghamshire Council, we are supporting large businesses that want to purchase an electric vehicle (EV).
The Buckinghamshire EV Project has been established by Buckinghamshire Council to guide businesses through a smooth transition to electric vehicles and more sustainable travel.
NOTE: The support is aimed at businesses with more than 100 employees.
It all starts with a simple, informal chat
To get started on your transition to electric vehicles, book a free consultation with an EV expert by emailing: Keith.Cotton@globalactionplan.org.uk
This will be an informal chat to get you started.
Real energy savings for real businesses
Aylesbury-based ESRI was one of the first organisations to get involved in the Buckinghamshire EV Project.
As Gary Lockwood, Financial Controller at ESRI, explains: "We are pleased to say we have now transitioned 43 company vehicles over to EVs and our average vehicle CO2 emissions have dropped from 110g/km to 11g/km in just 3 years.”
How did they achieve this?
