Electric vehicles: emerging risks and how to manage them

Given these legislative and environmental mandates, an increasing number of fleet operators are either switching, or considering switching, their fleets to incorporate zero emission electric vehicles (EVs), moving away from more traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

Implementing and integrating EVs into a business fleet presents a series of new risks to manage, such as those around increased accumulation risk at operational bases, and changes to operational practices to accommodate vehicle range and payload. However, these emerging risks can be managed effectively by businesses evaluating, prioritising and implementing controls, and calling on perspectives across the organisation.

To support fleet operators in identifying and assessing the risks through collaborative discussion between stakeholders, Logistics UK Van Gold Partner, WTW, has created EV Risk Workshops.

These expert-led training sessions support organisations in identifying the additional actions to control EV risks better, particularly during the early stages of planning for implementation. This can prove an appropriate juncture to analyse the additional controls your business can incorporate for longer-term risk management.

While these workshops are tailored specifically to the implementation of EVs, they can also focus on specific areas depending on your organisation’s specific needs, such as storing and handling EV battery packs or the driving considerations around EVs.

WTW can deliver EV Risk Workshops either in a face-to-face team environment or virtually, typically with four to six representatives from various sections of the business.
