As corporate sustainability goals become more ambitious, fleets play a critical role in driving real progress. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies increasingly prioritise clean transport, and adopting electric vehicles (EVs) is one of the most powerful ways to deliver on those commitments. But switching to EVs is just the start. The way businesses manage charging, driver reimbursements, and reporting can significantly enhance their environmental and operational outcomes.

Why EV Cards Matter for ESG

1. Measurable Emissions Reductions

EVs typically produce about one-third of the lifetime CO₂ emissions of petrol or diesel vehicles, according to Carbon Brief. EV-specific charge cards capture usage data at a granular level, including energy source and charge location - making it easier to calculate and communicate real carbon savings.

2. Simplified Reporting & Governance

With an EV charge card that works across public, workplace, and home charging, companies benefit from consolidated billing that’s HMRC-compliant and ESG-report ready. With the Rightcharge dashboard, users can track costs, usage, and emissions across their entire fleet, even seeing how much charging comes from renewable sources like wind or solar.

3. Scope 1 & 2 Emissions Management

Fleet electrification reduces direct emissions (Scope 1), while tracking energy used for vehicle charging, especially at home or depots, supports Scope 2 transparency. This is increasingly important as ESG expectations rise, and pressure grows to disclose energy data accurately.
