Managing a modern fleet—whether traditional ICE, fully electric, or a mix of both—is becoming increasingly complex. Rising operational costs, fragmented payment systems, and the pressures of sustainability targets all weigh heavily on fleet managers and finance teams.
And as more businesses begin their journey towards fleet electrification, they’re encountering new layers of cost and admin that aren’t always visible at first glance. We are here to break down how businesses can save on cost with Electroverse for Business!
Let’s get plugged in…
The Hidden Costs of Running a Mixed Fleet
On paper, running a fleet is about fuel, servicing, insurance, and tax. In reality, hidden costs add up fast:
Admin overload: Managing separate invoices for fuel cards, EV charging apps, tolls, and expenses drains valuable time.
Fragmented data: Tracking spending across multiple platforms limits your ability to optimise costs and reduce waste.
Charging mark-ups: Some payment platforms apply mark-ups on EV charging tariffs—meaning your business could be paying 2–5% more per charge than necessary.
Missed sustainability opportunities: Without consolidated data on CO₂ emissions, businesses may fall short of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets or waste time compiling fragmented reports.
These costs aren’t always visible until they impact the bottom line!

Businesses across sectors—from logistics and field services to sales teams—are investing in EVs as part of their long-term fleet strategies. However, the road to fleet electrification comes with hurdles:

Real-World Fleet Savings Example
For a fleet of 30 drivers:
With a typical charge card provider:
Replacement card fees: Up to £6 per card = £180
Transaction fees: Up to £3 per charge, averaging 20 charges per month = £21,600/year
Underused account fee: Let's assume just one account = £9.99/year
Monthly card fees: Up to £5 per card = £1,800/year
Total annual extras = approx. £23,590
With Electroverse for Business:
Estimated annual savings = over £21,900!
