Accelerate – Making the Switch to EV

Designed to help businesses plan towards 2035 and their transition to electric vehicles, this course enables participants to develop a structured approach that is right for their business.

The course can be run online or face to face, and is one of the most informative EV training programmes available. Guided by one of our experienced fleet industry team with a wealth of experience in electric, the course takes a structured approach to discovering all you need to know to make the right decisions for your business as you journey towards 2035.

Testimonials

There is a lot of information to be found on the internet around EV, but to have the knowledge and support of an organisation that are amongst the first to know of any new developments in the field, has proved to be of great benefit. My fundamental understanding of what we need to make the switch has been reinforced, and the course has provided me with some useful tools which will aid my presentation to senior management. I would recommend the course not just for TMs and Fleet managers, but for any level of management involved in the EV procurement process.
