How Scorching Heat Affects Your EV’s Range

High temperatures can have a significant impact on the performance and efficiency of electric vehicles.

And with the UK being in the warmer seasons now, we recommend that EV fleet managers should keep these tips in mind.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Battery Performance: High temperatures can degrade battery life and efficiency. It’s crucial to monitor and manage battery health to maintain optimal performance.
• Charging Considerations: Charging your EVs in high temperatures can be less efficient. Ensure your charging stations are in shaded or cooled areas to minimise heat impact.
• Strategies to Minimise Impact: Implementing strategies such as pre-cooling vehicles while still plugged in, using energy-efficient routes, and maintaining optimal tire pressure can help mitigate the effects of heat on EV range.
• Technology Advancements: Advances in battery technology and cooling systems are helping to reduce the impact of high temperatures on EV performance.

EV Sales Trends and Climate Targets

EV sales are surging towards a record year, driven by climate targets and government incentives aimed at reducing emissions.

Here’s a closer look at the current landscape:

• Record-Breaking Year: EV sales are poised for a historic high, responding to stringent climate goals and robust government incentives. This surge reflects a growing commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
• Challenges in Production: Despite growth, challenges such as supply chain disruptions and semiconductor shortages pose risks to EV production timelines.

• Government Initiatives: Policies favouring EV adoption continue to strengthen, aiming to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles in favour of cleaner alternatives. ElectrAssure supports these initiatives with tailored solutions for fleet electrification.

• Expansion Beyond Cars: The EV market is diversifying beyond passenger vehicles to encompass commercial vehicles like vans and trucks, offering expanded opportunities for fleet electrification.

• Technological Advancements: Advances in battery technology and charging infrastructure are pivotal in driving EV market growth, enhancing vehicle range, efficiency, and charging convenience.

Transitioning to an EV Fleet

Transitioning to an electric vehicle (EV) fleet is a strategic imperative for sustainable operations.

Here’s essential advice made with fleet managers in mind:

• Strategic Priority: A significant 64% of European companies prioritise developing sustainable fleets, but navigating misinformation and regulatory changes can be challenging.

• Charging Infrastructure and Range Anxiety: Overcoming these barriers is crucial. With 41% of managers concerned about range and one-third worried about charging infrastructure, ElectrAssure offers tailored solutions to optimise charging stations and address range concerns.

• Data-Driven Decisions: Utilise telematics and driver surveys to understand driving patterns, ensuring efficient vehicle allocation and optimal fleet management strategies.

• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Educate your drivers on the long-term financial benefits of EVs, including reduced maintenance and fuel costs.
