Australian car subscription company Carly, has launched a new product today to answer the question on many fleet managers’ minds: How do I understand the business benefits of transitioning to electric vehicles?
The Carly EV Trial for Business www.evtrial.com.au/business is a simple and cost-effective way for fleets to understand the pros and cons of different EV models in a range of business usage situations.
The Carly EV Trial for Business can help fleet managers answer many of the questions they and their staff have about using EVs for business and personal use, commuting & long-distance travel, how charging works and the potential cost savings. Fleet managers can then make informed decisions about buying or leasing EVs for their fleet in the future. An EV Trial starts at 30 days, and can be extended to a month-to-month subscription. Popular EV models that can be trialled include Hyundai Kona, Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, Genesis GV60, MG MG4, BYD Seal & Atto 3 and Cupra Born with more models and brands arriving each month.
With anxieties around transitioning to EVs currently plaguing many businesses, the Carly EV Trial aims to break down barriers and ease concerns as Australia pushes forward with EV adoption. The EV Trial seeks to offer a richer experience and provide more answers than the current unsuitable options – EV test drives are too short, and rentals are too expensive and often do not allow the choice of a specific model of interest.
Chris Noone, Carly CEO says “The only way to know if an EV is right for your business is to try it, that’s why we created Carly EV Trial. Many businesses are keen to transition to EVs, but they want to know it is the right decision for them before they make very expensive and important purchases”.
“It’s not just buying a new car, it’s adopting a whole new technology, vocabulary and set of considerations that take time for all levels of the business to appreciate”.
“Not all businesses will want to be early adopters and willing to take a risk on such a complex transition, that’s why it’s important we provide ways to eliminate EV uncertainties through trial and education.” said Noone
A big component of the Carly EV Trial is the education and support Carly offers before and during the experience. When a customer signs-up to an EV Trial they have immediate access to Carly’s dedicated EV support team who will help them set-up their vehicle at pick-up and guide them through how the car works, as well as charging requirements.
To make driving an EV for the first time even easier, every Carly EV Trial also includes a free 200kWh charge pack that can be used at any of the 1,500 Chargefox charging locations across Australia.
