A recent EV attitude survey carried out by Aston University highlights a lack of EV knowledge across drivers, fleet and HR managers, small businesses, and private motorists. Members can help to bridge this gap with a number of tailored courses from the BVRLA.
The survey reported some 36% of respondents said cost was a barrier to making the transition, 28% said range anxiety and 25% said lack of public charging.
Charging infrastructure was also an area where lack of detailed knowledge was clearly apparent amongst most respondents.
Some 67% of those surveyed said they did not live within five minutes of a public charge point, although confidential postcode checks later showed than this was an inaccurate perception in 40% of those cases.
The BVRLA’s Electric Vehicle Car Course and Electric Van & Truck Course can bridge the gap of EV day to day knowledge, so members can support their customer base more effectively.
There was also a lack of knowledge on corporate salary sacrifice and how this product could potentially beneficial customers.
In addition, the BVRLA’s Understanding Salary Sacrifice training course provides a full overview of the topic, covering the features of a typical Salary Sacrifice Scheme and who might benefit from Salary Sacrifice, PAYE, BIK, NI and OpRA Rules.
