Developing a Comprehensive Guide for Corporate EV Fleet Adoption

Challenge

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a CEO-led organization of over 200 international companies, sought support in creating a comprehensive online guide for corporate electric vehicle (EV) fleet adoption to help companies accelerate their transition to sustainable, electric mobility.

Solution

To assist the WBCSD, Guidehouse identified key use cases for corporate fleet managers considering electrifying their fleets. We developed case studies and detailed best practices, bringing together practical experiences and specific expertise in EV fleet transition from a wide range of industry and global perspectives. We also conducted working group reviews and gained consensus on content with members of the WBCSD’s E-Mobility Group, including Eaton, EDP, Enel, LeasePlan, Mahindra, Michelin, Nissan, Solvay, and UPS. Next, we created a resource database, providing an overview on charging technologies, ownership costs, environmental and practical implementation information, to be easily read by fleet managers. Finally, Guidehouse structured a microsite and provided recommendations on graphics requirements and site design to WBCSD’s design team.

Impact

The WBCSD Corporate EV Adoption Guide is available to a global audience and features up-to-date and geographically relevant information on EV technologies, clear steps to deploying an EV fleet, and an overview of best practices and learnings.
