Andrew also shares what customers are really saying about range, charging costs and infrastructure as the UK falls short of its ZEV targets.Fleet Evolution website: https://fleetevolution.com/Mark Rober - Can You Fool A Self Driving Car (YouTube) clip: https://youtu.be/IQJL3htsDyQ?si=KiOLuas8oex38jgPAndrew Leech has been around the fleet and employee benefits industry for over 26 years, from a career switch from finance to IT solution. For fleet, Andrew has transitioned to employee benefits and HR software and then an employee benefit centred around electric cars via a payroll deduction introducing EVs to SME’s who previously couldn’t offer salary sacrifice cars. Andrew's interest in electric cars is driven by personal experience, firstly as an asthmatic who realised when he moved to the countryside the improvement clean air can have on everyone's life; and then secondly as a former ‘petrol head’ who realised the experience that EVs offered. A regular speaker on the university circuit Andrew is an advocate of EVs, not because of the environmental benefits specifically, but moreso because of the performance and convenience.#ElectricVehiclesUK, #EnergyTransition, #FleetManagementSeason Two is in Partnership with The SpectatorTickets for the upcoming The Spectator Energy Summit, on Monday 30th November 2026, are available on sale.
