The whole world is talking about electromobility. Including us. After all, our aim is to drive forward electromobility.
And electromobility will drive our future. The combustion engine, a huge source of CO² emissions, could therefore very soon be a thing of the past. However, operators have a host of other reasons to upgrade their fleets by introducing e-mobility. The feel-good factor, not least from the experience of convenient, intelligent and emission-free driving.
Green light for electric company vehicles: five reasons why companies should electrify their fleets:
A good reputation is priceless and cannot be bought. Yet it can be made easy to earn: companies that set a good example for employees, customers and the whole of society in the context of e-mobility enhance their image, from which they continue to profit – in personnel recruitment, in talks with customers or with potential investors.
What does your company’s CSR report say on this topic? A reasonable question because ecological footprints are becoming increasingly important for companies. Many demonstrate a strong commitment to achieving CO²-neutrality – either because it is expected of them or they acknowledge responsibility for their own actions. Whatever the motivation: a fleet of electric vehicles is an important step towards achieving CO² targets.
Electric cars conserve resources better than petrol or diesel vehicles. The reason for this is their high efficiency: 60–70% from charging the battery to propulsion through the wheels. Companies that convert to an electric fleet are therefore more efficient on the road and are acting in the interests of future generations by making a valuable contribution to preserving nature’s foundations for life.

The DKV electromobility model offers numerous benefits. The most important ones at a glance:
The DKV Wallbox can be installed in protected indoor areas as well as in unprotected outdoor areas exposed to rain and direct sunlight. The protection class is IP 55. At ambient temperatures between -30°C to +50°C, the wallbox operates at full load without any loss of performance (without direct sunlight). The wallbox has an overheating protection, which however leads to a reduction of the output power at higher temperatures.
Since DKV provides the charging infrastructure to the company for a monthly fee, DKV remains the owner of the charging infrastructure. Thus, DKV assumes liability for errors/damage resulting from the hardware or installation.
All DKV Card +Charge transactions and the monthly fees can be viewed in the DKV online portal. The portal offers numerous functions for the regular control of the charging infrastructure, but also for monitoring the tank or electricity charging behavior
