"Diesel operators are bearing the brunt of the current squeeze. Diesel van drivers are being hit hardest by the current fuel crisis, so it's hardly surprising we're seeing a sharp rise in interest around electric vans."
"Many owners are starting to look towards a future that's less dependent on fossil fuels and less exposed to volatile fuel prices and running-cost uncertainty. As a result, we expect demand for battery and hybrid-electric van insurance to accelerate over the coming months."
Google searches for electric vans surged by 143% in March, indicating a significant shift among British tradespeople and small business owners. The increase in inquiries coincided with the Easter weekend, a time when operators assess fleet costs. High diesel prices, clean-air zone restrictions, and the narrowing cost gap for electric models are driving this interest. Diesel van drivers are particularly affected by rising fuel costs, prompting a shift towards electric vehicles as a more stable and economical option.
