The Climate Group reports 57% increase in EV uptake

The Climate Group reports that 231,000 vehicles in corporate fleets that have joined the EV100 initiative, switched to electric vehicles over the last 12 months, up 57 per cent from last year.

According to a new report from The Climate Group, Global businesses are boosting international demand for electric vehicles by switching over 630,000 cars and vans to electric across 71 global markets. The organisation says that the uptake of electric vehicles noted among the 128 EV100 members shows that they continue to match their ambition with action.

EV100 members have committed to run 5.45 million EVs by 2030. The most recent report from The Climate Group shows that EV100 members have installed over 35,000 EV chargers at 3,442 different locations worldwide. Last year alone, 5,000 came online. This means over half of the charging units the businesses have committed to installing are already operational.

The Climate Group initiative says it will “continue to urge automakers to increase the variety and availability of affordable EVs for company fleets.”
