The new EV line up for 2012 - fleets!


So, the Renault Kangoo Z.E. has won both International Van of the Year and now Van of the Year from UK publication What Van? If the Plug-In Car grant is extended next year and is broadened to include plug-in vans - and I can see no argument against such a move - then we should see a big contribution from white van man towards climate change from 2012 onwards.


With fleets accounting for 80% of UK plug-in vehicle sales this year, it seems safe to assume that 2012 will be the year for electric fleet sales. The Zoe ZE hatchback will bring in the private motorists, but not until 2013. Sales reps and delivery drivers - on your marks.
