Posted on in Business News , Cycles News

Survey iconRicardo Energy & Environment and UK Power Networks are running a survey to understand how best to support SMEs that may be looking to invest in their first electric vehicle, or to switch their commercial fleet to electric.

This survey is intended for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

Complete the survey about how you use vehicles as part of your business operations and your views on making the switch to electric vehicles, and be in with a chance to win up to £250 in shopping vouchers or make an equivalent value charitable donation, out of a total prize pot of £4,000!

Responses are welcome from all SMEs even if they do not currently have any vehicles, or have no plans to switch to electric vehicles.

 

Survey background

Ricardo Energy & Environment and UK Power Networks are running this survey to understand how best to support SMEs that may be looking to invest in their first electric vehicle, or to switch their commercial fleet to electric.

 

Research purpose

As the UK Government has just announced their plans to end sales of petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030 and for all new cars and vans to be fully zero emission at the tailpipe from 2035, UK Power Networks wants to ensure that SMEs are not left behind in getting the charging infrastructure they need to fulfil their business needs.
