Sustainable Business Travel
21 Mar 2022
How much driving do you do for your business? Is it a reasonably short daily commute to and from the office? Here at Mercedes-Benz South West, we’re looking into sustainable business travel which reduces your carbon footprint, saves you money and makes your driving more convenient.
There is a lot of uncertainty for many when deciding whether to switch to electric or not and rightly so. Electric vehicles are relatively new to us and with that comes a hint of distrust. In this blog we give you the benefits of switching your business vehicles to electric vehicles.
Reduce Footprint, Save Money
Of course, the most important reason to switch to electric is to reduce your carbon footprint and as a result do more for our planet. Driving 'clean' isn't the only benefit that comes with electric driving though.
They allow you to enjoy a totally new driving dynamic without compromise on style and performance, while saving you money at the same time. Reducing your carbon footprint by driving an electric car comes with cost savings, such as 0% car tax and healthy Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rates for businesses.
So not only are you reducing your carbon footprint, you’re also saving money at the same time.
Convenient Charging
One of the biggest talking points about going electric is the uncertainty surrounding charging, but there is no need to be put off.
Installing a wallbox at your home or office gives you complete peace-of-mind. Plug in when you arrive so while you're busy working throughout the day, your vehicle is charging ready for the journey home.
Or charge at home, and take advantage of the slightly reduced electricity prices at night by charging your car while you sleep, and wake up every morning knowing the ‘tank’ is full.
No more last minute dashes to the fuel station to fill up. Having these options available to you will reduce your chances of getting caught out and will actually create a more sustainable routine for you.
