Andrew Leech, Fleet Evolution Managing Director, said: “Many people in the UK are starting to warm to the environmental and cost benefits of owning a hybrid or electric car.

“The amount of people who own an electric car has risen dramatically since 2013, and we want to encourage companies large and small to get in on the trend to help save our planet’s health.

“We offer a huge range of new models for businesses to choose from, including Elon Musk’s Tesla range to the more affordable Nissan Leaf.”
