“The adoption of electric vehicles is no longer a question for tomorrow. For businesses, the transition to electric vehicles is now a big opportunity to become cleaner, more sustainable, and more efficient.
Centrica has begun electrifying its fleet of over 12,000 vehicles, and we have learned a lot about how to take full advantage of the opportunity. We are using our own experience to help make the transition to electric vehicles simpler, faster and more cost-effective for our customers.”

Proven leadership and success
Benefits of electric vehicles
Transport is now the largest source of emissions in the U.S., accounting for 29% of carbon emissions,1 so the opportunity for businesses and public sector organizations to make a practical contribution to the fight against climate change is now. At the same time, transitioning to electric vehicles unlocks ways to reduce cost, create new value, ensure energy security for vehicle fleets, and enhance your reputation.
Become a sustainable business
Electric vehicles are key to decarbonizing transport and improving air quality. American cities, counties, and states are making commitments to transition their energy infrastructure to 100% renewable energy by no later than 2050. Some communities have already fully transitioned.
By demonstrating leadership in providing EV charging infrastructure and transitioning fleet vehicles to EV, businesses, organizations and local governments can play a major role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and inspire wider EV adoption across society.
Reduce costs across your entire business
With the economies of scale of fleet management and falling technology prices for batteries, and charging infrastructure, the cost of EVs is reducing. Long term cost savings can be made by making the switch from gasoline and diesel.
Electrifying transportation also unlocks opportunities to integrate your EV infrastructure with renewable on-site distributed solutions such as solar and battery storage, which can further reduce energy costs and enhance sustainability across your entire business.
Enhance your organization’s reputation
Growing public concern about the threat of climate change demonstrates an urgent need to take action on sustainability and improve your environmental credibility, underlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.
While regulatory targets matter, pressure from your shareholders, customers and employees can often be a more powerful motivator. Making the shift to clean transport is a clear demonstration of your business’ commitment to addressing global warming.
