Have you noticed how much more grown up electric cars are looking these days? Alphabet’s new consultancy service looks at your business and tells you how EVs can work for you – and save you money

HAVE you ever quietly fancied the lure of filling up on a three-pin plug rather than tipping greasy diesel down your car’s filler pipe?

Wondered about the calming silence of electric vehicle (EV) travel on a crowded urban commute rather than the constant on-off thump as the fuel-saving stop-start system constantly shuts down and then re-engages?

BMW and Audi have given the EV market gravitas

Well, now’s the time to stop wondering.

Mobility solutions firm Alphabet has launched a new consultancy  called AlphaElectric.

It analyses your company car usage and works out whether fully electric, plug-in hybrid or conventional diesel is best for your business and company cars.

But AlphaElectric goes further than that: it provides a full suite of support structures to ensure that making the switch to EV is seamless.

The first is the ‘Discovery’ pack – which is a try before you buy service, and allows you to hand back the car after six months.

The second is the ‘Comfort’ pack, which takes the pressure off early termination costs so that, if an EV proves unsuitable after all, the cost to end the business car lease is no more than £500.

And then there are four mobility packs to ensure total 365 day mobility. So if your driver needs to swap the EV company car for an MPV for the family holiday to go to the south of France, then this can be accommodated with an inclusive number of combustion engine rental days provided within the mobility packs.

There are four packs, providing different levels of support: Basic; Business; Business +; and Comprehensive. Plus there’s the AlphaElectric Chargecard providing access to 85% of the public charging network.
