Tusker and Diode have launched a new platform that will further support businesses looking to switch employees to electric vehicles.  

The new deal will provide fleets with access to a bespoke digital platform generating comprehensive electrification guidance reports

Salary sacrifice specialist Tusker has already been working with business electrification expert Diode for the past three years, but the new deal will provide fleets with access to a bespoke digital platform generating comprehensive electrification guidance reports.  

These give a thorough analysis of each employee and vehicle, allowing managers to build an overall picture of the suitability of individual employees for electric vehicles, and their workplace charging needs.  

Diode’s platform gathers data on all vehicles and employees, including private car drivers, and processes this information to give each business a dynamic Charging Infrastructure Recommendation. This calculates the number and type of charge points the company needs over the next five years, and the estimated cash savings they will make over this period.  

The data gathering also generates an individual EV readiness report for every employee within a company. This includes an interactive tool to assess how different EVs would fit into their lifestyle based on their specific driving behaviour and they can purchase a home charge point – all from one dashboard.  

The new service is already being promoted to Tusker’s existing 900+ customers and features on its relaunched website.  

Paul Gilshan, CEO of Tusker, commented: “We are confident that this added service will help to make the process of electrification less daunting for companies new to the concept. In our experience, many companies do not have a dedicated in-house specialist, so the task of developing an electric vehicle strategy often falls to finance or HR to implement. With this platform, the whole concept is simplified and is data driven.” 

Jon Horsfield, founder and CEO of Diode, also said the new data-driven reporting platform would give employees the confidence to make the switch and businesses the tool to get the right amount of workplace charging installed.  

“We are pleased to be working more closely with Tusker, as simply, no one else is doing what they are doing in the car scheme space,” he added. “As a fully carbon neutral company, they are truly sustainable and as the longest running EV-focused salary sacrifice provider in the UK, we look forward to working together to help as many businesses transition to green motoring as possible.”
