U-Drive Launches EV Consultancy Service To Help Businesses Meet The Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate
Last Updated: 17th July 2025
U-Drive is excited to announce its Electric Vehicle (EV) Consultancy Service, specifically designed to guide businesses seamlessly through their transition to electric vehicles. This bespoke consultancy service provides strategic, data-driven guidance, enabling companies to integrate EVs into their fleets at a pace that aligns with their operational needs and sustainability goals.
“Our EV Consultancy Service is here to make fleet electrification efficient and effective," says Kim, U-Drive’s EV Sustainability Consultant. "From in-depth data analysis to tailored vehicle solutions and infrastructure planning, every aspect is customized to support our clients' unique needs. Our team is committed to helping you future proof your fleet, starting with a free consultation.”
U-Drive's EV Consultancy has been divided into four main components, each customised to meet the specific needs of a business:
Free Electric Vehicle Consultation
The service begins with a complimentary consultation where U-Drive’s team evaluates each fleet’s unique requirements and addresses any questions about EV transition.
Fleet Analysis With Telematics
Data-driven decisions are crucial for effective transitions. Our team uses telematics powered by EVolve, our vehicle data analysis tool, to assess current fleet usage and identify vehicles ready to transition to electric.
Site Survey For EV Infrastructure
Ensuring businesses have the right infrastructure is a crucial stage to enable the transition of fleets to EV. Our team aids on site surveys to understand current fleet operations and assess what’s needed to support EVs efficiently.
Electric Vehicle Team Training
An electric fleet isn’t just about new vehicles and infrastructure—it requires an informed team. We offer comprehensive training for workforces, ensuring everyone is confident and well-prepared for the shift to EVs.
Our EV Consultancy has been designed to make the transition to an electric fleet smooth for all businesses. Whether they're at the start of their journey or need some advice along the way, our team is here ready to help.
Electric Vehicle Fleet Progress Checker
In addition, U-Drive offers a free EV Fleet Progress Checker—a quick, eight-question assessment tool providing tailored feedback to help fleets understand their current position in the EV transition process.
U-Drive’s network of 8 locations across England and Wales includes, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Fareham, Manchester, Poole, Salisbury, and Southampton, and we’re excited to offer this service to these locations and beyond!
