The Benefits of Electric Van Hires
Northgate is providing the latest Electric Vehicle (EV) options to help fleets prepare for an electric future, offering a full end-to-end solution to assist fleets through every step. Whether you choose Flexible Hire or 12months+, every vehicle comes with servicing, maintenance and 24/7 breakdown and recovery as standard.
A Greener Business
Electric vans produce zero direct emissions, which can help limit your business's carbon footprint, reduce air pollution, and improve air quality in the environment. You can reduce your indirect emissions by charging your EV through a renewable source, such as wind or solar power, to be closer to a net-zero emissions fleet.
Less Maintenance Hassle
Electric commercial vans can have lower maintenance costs as they have fewer moving parts and less wear and tear of components. This reliability of electric vehicles is a significant benefit to businesses to reduce vehicle downtime, operational costs, and outgoings to improve cash flow.
Clean Air Zones & ULEZ Compliance
In London, vehicles that fail to meet the ULEZ emission standards must pay a £12.50 daily charge to drive inside the zone.
Long Term Money Saving
Electric vehicles in the UK are exempt from paying any road tax, allowing you to allocate more funds to your monthly business operations and saving you a significant amount over time. Additionally, charging with electricity can be cheaper than fuelling with petrol or diesel with several government grants and EV tariffs at your disposal.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE FAQs
In a rush? Find answers to some electric van FAQs below!
Will an electric vehicle be suitable for me and my fleet?
If your daily journey is less than 150 miles with mainly urban driving an electric vehicle is perfect for you. Electric vehicles' regenerative braking systems allow this type of journey to maintain the maximum charge in your EV.
Even if your daily journey takes you over 150 miles, at Northgate we have EVs on our fleet with a range of up to 200 miles. If you're not sure what might be the right decision for your business, get in touch and one of our EV specialists will be able to make a recommendation.
What kind of journeys are electric vehicles most suitable for?
There is a wide range of situations where an EV would be a suitable vehicle. However, the most efficient type of driving in terms of maintaining the charge on an EV is urban driving, due to the regenerative braking system which can actually add charge to a vehicle's battery!
How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?
We offer a wide range of electric vans and eLCVs and the charging time on them can vary depending on the type of charger you have or the battery size in the vehicle. The charge time can be anything from 45 minutes to 12 hours.
Where can I charge an electric van?
There are a multitude of options for charging an electric vehicle with more facilities being added every day. Whether you charge at home, at a petrol station or even while you do your weekly shop!
If you keep your vehicle at home overnight when it is not being used, you could benefit from having a home charger fitted. Our EV hire and home charging bundle provide just that; an electric vehicle and a home charger for your drivers.
