A commercial vehicle rental specialist has launched a new whitepaper looking at why charging infrastructure is holding back electric vehicle adoption across the light commercial vehicle (LCV) sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Charging Ahead’ whitepaper, based on data from Dawsongroup’s EV Readiness Survey<\/a> of fleet operators across the UK, uncovers a disconnect between perceived readiness and actual implementation.
While 53% of respondents believe their premises are suitable for EV charging infrastructure, only 27% have actually installed chargers on site. Meanwhile, 47% remain either unsure of their suitability or consider their premises unsuitable altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the report driving range is identified as the most important factor in EV selection for fleet managers (42%). For micro fleets running between one and ten vehicles, a single van falling short on range can throw an entire day’s operations into disarray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For smaller fleets, every vehicle is a workhorse. If one can’t deliver the expected range, it disrupts the entire operation,” said Sarah Gray (pictured, below), Head of ZEV Strategy and Development at Dawsongroup vans. Charging speed is also highlighted as a day-to-day challenge. Unlike private EVs, commercial vans run to tight schedules where slow charging translates directly into lost productivity. The whitepaper maintains that faster charging infrastructure is key to keeping vehicles on the road, with drivers able to top up during breaks rather than waiting for a full charge.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The findings show that 59% of drivers take their vehicles home overnight, which can create challenges around charging consistency and cost control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When vehicles are dispersed overnight, businesses lose control over charging consistency and cost management. It becomes harder to monitor energy usage and ensure vehicles are ready for the next day,” says Gray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite 41% of fleets parking vehicles at their business premises <\/a>overnight, on-site charging adoption remains surprisingly low. The whitepaper suggests that many businesses underestimate what installation involves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMany businesses underestimate the complexity of installation,\u201d says Simon Ridley, Managing Director at Dawsongroup vans. \u201cFrom assessing electrical capacity to managing costs and planning for future scalability. It’s not just about buying chargers; it’s about integrating them into the business model.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The whitepaper recommends a practical, phased approach, starting with temporary or mobile charging solutions, carrying out site assessments to understand power availability, and building an infrastructure that can grow with the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts at Dawsongroup vans<\/a> encourage businesses to combine real world vehicle trials and telematics to test EV performance against actual route demands, rather than just relying on manufacturer figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
