The BVRLA’s #SeeTheBenefit campaign has hit a milestone of over 1,000 letters going to MPs. The campaign is urging the Chancellor to support the uptake of electric cars by keeping Benefit-in-Kind rates low and giving foresight beyond the current 2024/25 cut off. 

The countdown is on for the BVRLA’s Fleets in Charge Conference, taking place on Thursday (7 July) at One Birdcage Walk in London and streamed virtually. The packed agenda will showcase the vital role the industry has to play in delivering the government’s ambitious targets for zero emission vehicle take up. 

In this blog Ellie Bruce, Policy & Public Affairs Advisor, BVRLA, looks at the growing attention being given to how companies are approaching ESG, scrutinising their approach to becoming more environmentally aware. Ellie will be exploring this topic with a panel of experts in the “Greener Futures” breakout as part of the Fleets in Charge Conference on Thursday 7 July.  

The BVRLA has responded to HM Government’s consultation on the Update to the Green Finance Strategy. 

Regulations came into force last week that require new homes and buildings such as supermarkets and workplaces, as well as those undergoing major renovation, to install electric vehicle charge points. 

Earlier this year, the number of electric vehicles on the BVRLA leasing fleet overtook petrol for the first time. Those in the fleet industry know zero emission vehicles are no longer the ‘alternative’, but how can we speed up the transition across all sectors? 

Both households and businesses have been hit by rapid inflation, with prices driven higher by record fuel and energy costs. 

Next month the BVRLA is hosting a Parliamentary drop-in event to highlight the vital role salary sacrifice schemes play in the affordable uptake of electric cars and the need for future tax clarity to continue this good work. 

From 2024, the Government hopes to introduce a new Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate in order to drive a rapid increase in the number of electric vehicles brought into the UK market.  

Toby Poston, Director of Corporate Affairs at the BVRLA comments on the announcement....

After two successful digital events, the BVRLA’s annual Fleets in Charge Conference is being hosted as a hybrid event this year– both in person in London and online. Next month‘s event will focus on electric vehicle demand, supply, and infrastructure, with the agenda also featuring four informative break-out sessions – two of which will be available on the digital ticket. 

With just one month to go until the BVRLA’s 2022 Fleets in Charge Conference, the association would like to highlight two more of the interactive breakout sessions offering a forward look at emerging business models and new technology and innovation.
